Does replacing your air conditioning system fit your budget?

Without a doubt, the most important thing to consider when replacing your air conditioning system is whether or not it’s in your budget. If purchasing a new air conditioning system is totally out of your budget or will put stress on you during the already stressful process, don’t sweat it.

A broken or inefficient air conditioning system can be a deal breaker for some buyers, but isn’t always the end-all-be-all.

If purchasing a new air conditioning system is in your budget, read on.

Is your air conditioning system in overall good condition?

Knowing whether or not it’s time to replace an air conditioning system can be tough, especially if you’re moving out and aren’t sure if it’s worth the cost. Before replacing the air conditioning system, ask yourself if it’s in overall good condition.

What does that mean?

Basically the answer is whether or not it keeps the home cool and comfortable without costing you a ton in energy and repair costs.

Is your air conditioning system 15 years or older?

Even well-maintained air conditioning systems have an expiration date. If your system is 15 years or older, consider replacing it.

Does your air conditioning system use R-22?

R-22 Freon was used in air conditioning systems and other appliances before it was outlawed due to its effect on the environment.

If your air conditioning system still utilizes R-22, we recommend having the system replaced.
