Repair or Replace? (March
2008)
If you’re worried your air conditioner may quit on you at the
most inopportune moment, ask yourself these questions:
How old is your HVAC system? If the answer is
more than 10 years old, keep in mind that old systems perform much
less efficiently than newer systems and increase your energy costs.
Is your equipment sized correctly? If you’ve
remodeled since your original installation or if your equipment just
can’t seem to keep up with your demand, then chances are, it isn’t.
Also, keep in mind: the change from 10 to 13 SEER equipment
delivers about 23% equipment energy savings! Plus, the government
is now offering a tax rebate on select equipment and additional
financing may be available through your local heating and air
conditioning professional.
No matter when you decide to replace, though, make sure that you
also have regular preventative
maintenance (including changing the filter) performed on your
system to ensure it is working at peak efficiency. Preventative
maintenance for your heating and air conditioning system is like an
oil change for your car. Without it , the chances of encountering a
problem this summer or in the coming year increase dramatically. In
addition, your manufacturer will not honor any warranties if
maintenance has not been performed.
