People may have lived in Arizona for thousands of years without air conditioning, but few would care to do so now. The desert air is dry, making the heat easier to handle, but hot is still hot. When someone needs a new air conditioning unit, the question is not whether or not the unit is needed, but exactly what size or type of AC system would work best for them.
Is it Better to Repair or Replace the Current Air Conditioning System?
That’s always a judgment call. Some guidelines are:
* If the AC is over 10 years old, replacement is usually the best choice. Over time, the units become more inefficient and repairs more costly.
* When some rooms are too hot while other rooms are too cold, especially if this was not the case when the AC was new, this implies that either the AC is not functioning properly or that the ductwork is leaky. No one wants their expensive, cool air to be wasted because of gaps in the ductwork.
* If the home is either dustier or more humid than normal, have the AC unit checked.
* A noisy AC unit is not a good thing. Letting it continue could result in what could have been a minor repair becoming a very expensive fix.
What Should be Looked for in a New Air Conditioner?
* Of course, the new AC should be reliable, providing years of dependable service with only normal maintenance.
* It should be efficient. New units rate much more efficient than older ones.
What Size Air Condition is Needed?
* The current unit may or may not be the proper size for the home. New homes often come with a standard contractor’s model that is barely adequate to the task.
* An over-sized unit will actually cycle on and off too often, wasting energy and possibly straining the compressor.
* Commercial Air Conditioning Contractors can determine the proper size for the home after studying all of the factors, including window dimensions, shade from trees, insulation, floor footage and heat-generating appliances.
