Signs You Need an Air Conditioner Replacement
Replacing your AC unit may seem like a big decision, but it can save you money and discomfort in the long run. Watch for these warning signs:
- Your system is 10–15 years old
- Repair costs are adding up
- Inconsistent temperatures from room to room
- Your home feels humid even when AC is on
- Energy bills keep rising despite maintenance
According to ENERGY STAR, replacing an old AC with a high-efficiency model can cut cooling costs by 20–40%.
If your current system still uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out in the U.S.), the EPA recommends switching to a more environmentally friendly refrigerant system.
Benefits of a New Air Conditioning System
- Lower energy bills: New systems use less electricity and are better suited for Arkansas’s hot summers.
- Improved indoor comfort: Better airflow, balanced temperatures, and enhanced humidity control.
- Quiet operation: Modern AC units are designed to run with minimal noise.
- Warranty protection: New equipment comes with 10-year limited warranties for parts and labor.
- Eco-friendliness: ENERGY STAR-certified systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage.
Many of today’s systems also offer Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats and zoning capabilities, letting you control your comfort remotely while saving energy. According to the Department of Energy, smart thermostats can save homeowners 10–15% annually on heating and cooling.
