We&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find a piece of machinery that\u00a0<em>will<\/em> last forever, so this technically shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to anyone. But many homeowners wish their air conditioners lasted a lot longer than they do, and they end up paying for that.<\/p>\n<p>If you had to guess how long your <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air conditioning in Montgomery County<\/a> was supposed to last, what would you say? Five years? Ten years?<\/p>\n<p>An air conditioner is supposed to last between 10 to 15 years and that depends on a lot of different factors. Let us walk you through the different things to consider when dealing with an aging air conditioner, so you&#8217;re prepared for the inevitable cost of AC replacement. We can answer any additional questions you have if you call our team today!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Deciding Factors of an Aging System<\/h2>\n<p>When your air conditioner is starting to age or is running into reoccurring problems, replacement shouldn&#8217;t be thought of as an inevitability, but rather a solution to a problem. Nobody deserves to experience a faulty air conditioning system or constant expensive repair bills. Replacement services can treat the problem at the root and provide you with a new, high-efficiency system that keeps you comfortable and happy. Here are just a few reasons to consider a replacement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Old age.\u00a0<\/strong>Simply put, an air conditioner isn&#8217;t supposed to last more than 15 years. If yours is getting up there and you&#8217;re getting ready to spend money on a repair or maintenance appointment, you might be wasting your money on a system that&#8217;s bound to fail soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poor efficiency.\u00a0<\/strong>As an air conditioner ages, it also starts to lose efficiency at a rapid rate. Your system will start using more electricity to provide the same level or less of cooling power to your home, which is a recipe for disaster in relation to your budget.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequent repairs.\u00a0<\/strong>If your air conditioner requires a repair every year or even every few months, then you seriously need to consider a replacement. Repairs should only be a &#8220;sometimes&#8221; occurrence, not more frequent than maintenance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One expensive problem or component failure.\u00a0<\/strong>If your air conditioner still seems like it&#8217;s got a few years left but it runs into a problem with its compressor, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a replacement. The compressor is the most valuable component of the system and it&#8217;s also the hardest part to repair.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s not keeping you comfortable.\u00a0<\/strong>Your comfort matters. You shouldn&#8217;t be boiling in the summer heat just because you&#8217;re nervous about investing in a replacement. If your air conditioner isn&#8217;t cooling you down properly or meeting your temperature demands, then it&#8217;s time to replace it with one that does.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have any questions about the lifespan or longevity of your aging air conditioner, don&#8217;t hesitate to call us and ask!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Contact Carney Plumbing Heating &amp; Cooling for AC replacement services today.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have any questions about the lifespan or longevity of your aging air conditioner, don&#8217;t hesitate to call us and ask!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[406,17],"class_list":["post-3779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning","tag-air-conditioning","tag-montgomery-county"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3779"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3779\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3783,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3779\/revisions\/3783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
