Benefits of New AC Installation

Too often, when home and business owners consider upgrading the air conditioner, they look at pricing or maybe even get an estimate, only to be completely discouraged by the cost. While it’s no secret that new air conditioner installation is expensive, it is often the most prudent financial decision an owner can make. Air conditioners have more costs associated with them than just installation. An inefficient air conditioner requiring numerous repairs is obviously more expensive. Here are some costs that owners should weigh against the cost of new AC installation as they decide on new equipment.

Improved Energy Efficiency

With the EPA and air conditioner manufacturers paying attention to eco-friendliness, air conditioning technology is changing faster than the average owner understands. Since most air conditioners only need to be replaced every 20 years, chances are there have been great efficiency improvements in the intervening years. With this in mind, owners should factor in the money saved every month due to lower energy bills from installing a more eco-friendly air conditioner. Add this to the fact that air conditioners lose their efficiency as they age, and it becomes apparent that there are cases where owners can’t afford to put off air conditioner installation for another year.

High Repair Costs

New AC installation can be expensive, but how does that compare to the cost of keeping an aging system running? As the current air conditioner ages, constant use slowly causes the internal workings to wear down. They will start to fail at various points, but every AC repair visit from a professional only prolongs the inevitable and drives up the cost of operating the air conditioner. At some point, replacing the unit and starting fresh will make more sense. Warranties cover a new air conditioner, meaning the owner can rely on having no AC repair bills for the warranty term. In addition, new air conditioners are more reliable than ones that have been in constant use for 15 years. Reminding owners of this simple fact is important to helping them realize the true cost of AC repairs compared to AC installation.

Improperly Sized Units

There are a few reasons why an air conditioner may be improperly sized for the space that it cools. When air conditioners are too big or too small compared to the size of the space they cool, it can lead to long cycles, which drive up energy use, or short cycles, which cause unnecessary wear and tear on the unit. While the degree of improper sizing may make it unnecessary to upgrade the air conditioner at any time, there are circumstances when resizing the unit is appropriate. If the air conditioner uses vast amounts of energy and the home is uncomfortable, it may be improperly sized. A new, properly sized unit can restore comfort and lower the bills for cooling the space.
