Do I need a NEW AC??

Air conditioners are a highly essential, almost required, appliance during this NORTH TEXAS HEAT!

Unfortunately, after a certain time, even the most expensive air conditioning units will eventually require replacement.


Deciding on the right time for an AC unit installation doesn't have to be difficult, and should be thought about before you' re left out in the HEAT!


Frequent Repairs

Air conditioning repair is the first step that comes to mind when the unit is underperforming. Often times, repairs cost much less than a replacement. However, when the unit breaks down often, and you’re frequently calling technicians for AC installation in North Texas, costs can quickly add up. At some point, you will be spending more on repairs than having the unit replaced.

When your air conditioner is already breaking down every month despite being well-maintained, this is a sign that it is time to call AC unit installation services.

Bad Smells in the House (not your husband)

A musty smell coming from your AC indicates that mold may be growing inside the unit. Mold releases spores that can be easily inhaled, contributing to various illnesses, including throat and skin irritation, nasal congestion and headache. People with allergies can have more severe reactions, such as chronic lung diseases. Strong odors could also indicate burned wires in your unit, which requires immediate attention.

As soon as you smell something from your AC, it’s best to enlist air conditioner installation in Arlington.


AC Is More Than 10 Years Old

If your air conditioner is getting old, experts advise you to already start preparing to buy a new one. Most modern units can last between 15 to 20 years, and older models can last around 10 to 12 years. However, they will only reach this lifespan if the AC is maintained regularly. Failing to conduct upkeep on your air conditioner considerably shortens its service lifespan. The unit’s lifespan can also be affected by how often you use it, how hot it gets in the place you live in and if it’s an appropriate size for your home.

If you’ve been using your AC for more than a decade, it may be time to purchase a new one.


Energy Bills Are Going Higher

Your electric bills should stay around the same amount every month unless your area has price changes. But if you notice that your accounts have increased for a couple of months, then it might be time for a new air conditioner. An energy bill that is higher than usual indicates that your unit is losing efficiency or malfunctioning. When this happens, AC services are already a must!
