How Can I Tell If I Need a New AC Unit?
ACs generally last around 15 years with proper maintenance. Some can last up to 20 years, depending on the model and usage. If you’re unsure of how to know when it’s time to replace your AC, here are some of the top signs:
- System is over 10 years old: Air conditioning systems over 10 years old tend to have increased issues and lower efficiency due to aging components.
- Increased energy bills: If you notice that your energy bill is higher than usual, it signals that your AC system has lost efficiency.
- Frequent and costly repairs: Often, it is more cost-effective to replace your AC once it starts needing frequent and costly repairs.
- Inefficient cooling: If your air conditioner isn’t offering enough cool air, it may be time for a new system.
Types of AC Systems
At G&G Heating, we install all kinds of air conditioning systems in Olympia and Tumwater. We can help you determine which option is best for your needs.
Central air conditioner units
A central air conditioner is a whole-home cooling system that relies on a centralized unit and ductwork to distribute cool air throughout a home. Central air conditioners are ideal for homes with existing ductwork.
Ductless AC systems
Ductless AC systems, such as mini splits, are a great option for those without existing ductwork. Ductless air conditioners provide temperature control in individual rooms or zones. This type of AC is ideal for retrofits, room additions, or homes with hot or cold spots.
Heat pumps
Heat pumps are electrically powered HVAC units that provide both heating and cooling. They transfer heat inside and outside instead of generating it. Heat pumps are highly efficient and come in both ducted and ductless versions.
What Are the Benefits of a New AC System?
Installing a new AC system provides homeowners with a plethora of benefits and increased home comfort.
- Improved energy efficiency: A modern AC will run more efficiently and without strain from worn, aging components.
- Lower cooling costs: Homeowners can enjoy lower energy costs from decreased energy consumption and higher efficiency.
- Better IAQ: Getting a new air conditioner results in better indoor air quality (IAQ) with less airborne particles such as allergens and dust.
- Reliable cooling: New air conditioners provide reliable and even cooling throughout your home.
- Reduced repair costs: With a new AC, you won’t need to worry about frequent, costly repairs.
