Summertime is the season for family get-togethers, barbecues, and fun. The last thing you need to interrupt your plans is to have your air conditioner to break down. But how do you know if your Charlotte AC unit just needs a repair or if it needs to be replaced? Here are some guidelines to help you to determine which option is best for you.
Service Life of HVAC Systems
Air conditioning systems have an average service life of 10-15 years. When your unit reaches ten years of age, it loses efficiency and may be overworking to keep your home cool, which not only puts a strain on your system, but also increases your utility bills. Replacing an old unit will not only improve your home comfort, but a new high-efficiency HVAC system will save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs.
