As July nears an end you might think you can sweat it out for the next 60 days and put off replacing that old central air conditioning unit. Besides the all-important comfort level of your home, you may consider replacement now if any of the following conditions exist:
According to Consumer Reports every appliance in your home has an expected average lifespan. With central air, the average is 15 years, however according to Energy.gov if your unit is just 10 years old, you could save 20-40% on your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient system. If that’s the case, you might look into financing for a new system that will actually save you money in the long run.
Penny wise, pound foolish? As your air conditioner ages it becomes more expensive to maintain with more frequent repairs and service calls. Get a thorough evaluation from a NATE certified Rheem Pro Partner Technician on the health of your unit, again saving you money in the long run.
As an air conditioner ages it runs more inefficiently, so in addition to being less efficient to begin with, an older unit will run longer, waste energy and not provide the same level of comfort.
