Is your AC struggling to keep up with the Texas heat? If your system is always running but your home still feels warm, it might be time to make a big decision. Should you keep repairing it, or is it smarter to replace it?
At North Tarrant Heat & Air, we know how important it is to stay comfortable without draining your wallet. Here are some clear signs it might be time to stop patching up your old AC and start thinking about a new one.
- Your Energy Bills Are Climbing
If your energy bills are going up but your usage hasn’t changed, your AC could be the problem. Older systems lose efficiency over time and have to work harder to keep your home cool. Newer systems, especially those using eco-friendly refrigerants like R-454b, use less energy and cool more effectively. That means better comfort and lower bills.
- Your System Is Over 10 Years Old
AC units typically last 10 to 15 years. If your system is around that age, it may be close to retirement. Even if it’s still running, it probably isn’t performing as efficiently as it once did. New systems run quieter, cooler, and smarter.
- You’re Always Paying for Repairs
An occasional repair is no big deal. But if you’re calling us out every few months, those repair costs add up. Instead of throwing money at an aging system, consider putting that cash toward a new one that comes with a full warranty and fewer headaches.
- Your Home Just Isn’t Cool
Are some rooms hot while others feel fine? Does your AC seem to run all day with little effect? These are red flags your system isn’t doing its job. A new unit can cool your home evenly and consistently, even in the Texas heat.
- Your Air Quality Is Suffering
Older systems often lack proper air filtration, which can lead to poor indoor air quality. If you’re noticing more dust, musty smells, or allergy symptoms, your AC might be the culprit. New systems are designed to work with advanced IAQ solutions that help you breathe easier.
Don’t Wait for a Breakdown
The best time to replace your AC is before it stops working. Our team at North Tarrant Heat & Air makes it easy with expert advice, free estimates, and energy-efficient systems that fit your budget.
