When Should I Install a New AC System?
Trying to diagnose yourself whether you’d be better off with fresh heating or cooling systems normally isn’t the easiest thing to do, because oftentimes it might not look like there are glaring issues until you inspect the internal parts and have an idea what it is you’re looking for.
Naturally, nobody likes the idea of shelling out on a new AC system when they can just continuously stick a band-aid over the underlying issues by getting quick repairs. Most people have it in their heads that it’s far more expensive to upgrade their AC system, but, in truth, it’s way more costly to insist on repairing every time – especially if you’ve had your current AC units for around 10-12 years.
This is largely because wear and tear with your AC system is unavoidable, so any existing problems are only going to exacerbate as it continues to get older – not to mention that you’re going to pay far more in utility bills since inefficient AC systems use a lot more energy than new ones do.
In Oak Park Heights, wear and tear issues are certainly not helped by all of the additional damage that can be caused by the surrounding areas. For instance, the proximity to the St. Croix River can cause humidity to be far higher than average, and this promotes mold growth which can spread further if you don’t eliminate the source of the mold by replacing your AC units. Furthermore, from Valley View Park to Autumn Hills, all the allergens in the air from the nearby trees can contribute to your old AC units functioning improperly, too.
So, if the sum of your AC repair begins exceeding around $1500, it’s a no-brainer to opt for a fresh AC system instead. We can help you deduce which option is more affordable for you, so just contact our team at (715) 283-4422 to get the ball rolling.
