Your air conditioning system plays a crucial role in keeping your home cool and comfortable, especially during the hot San Antonio summer months. However, like any other appliance, it won’t last forever. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the signs that it’s time to replace your old AC system and why  Comfort Techs  is the perfect choice for your AC  installation  needs.

  1. Age:  The average lifespan of an AC unit is around  10-15 years . If your system is approaching or exceeding this age, it may be time to consider a replacement. Older units are typically less energy-efficient and may require more frequent repairs.
  2. High Energy Bills:  If you’ve noticed a sudden increase in your  energy bills , it could be a sign that your AC unit is no longer functioning efficiently. Over time, wear and tear can cause your unit to work harder, leading to higher energy bills.
  3. Frequent Repairs:  If you find yourself calling a technician for  repairs  on a regular basis, it may be more cost-effective to replace your AC unit altogether. Frequent repairs can add up quickly, and a new system can save you money in the long run.
  4. Poor Performance:  If your AC unit is no longer keeping your home cool and comfortable, it may be time for a replacement. Poor performance can be a sign of a worn-out or malfunctioning system.
