Living in Florida can be exhausting if your air conditioner is on the fritz. Spring is the best time to change out your system before it’s so muggy you feel like you’re breathing underwater. Here are some signs that could indicate it’s time to start thinking about an AC replacement in Vero Beach, Sebastian, Ft Pierce, Orchid Island Florida and surrounding areas in Indian River County, Florida.
1. Increasing Energy Bills
Are your energy bills higher than this time last year despite using the same appliances in the same patterns? It’s usually not power theft or a broken meter. Air conditioners use significantly more power as they begin to break down.
2. Inconsistent Cooling
You might notice that some rooms in your house are cooler than others. If it seems that the rooms closer to the system are cooler than rooms with longer ducts, your system is struggling to maintain consistent temperatures.
3. Frequent Repairs
Is your AC system becoming a money pit? You should consider the long-term benefit of a new system over continuing expenses with your current one. The repair costs may seem manageable at first, but you’ll soon find you could have been investing that money in a newer, more energy-efficient system that keeps your home at a more comfortable, even temperature.
4. Excessive Noise
This problem is a dead giveaway that your AC system has an issue. Worn-out components and mechanical issues will cause annoying sounds like:
- Banging due to broken parts within the compressor or blower assembly
- Squealing from issues with the belt that drives the blower motor
- Hissing from leaks in the refrigerant lines.
These sounds give you fair warning to have someone look at your system. While none of them mean you need to replace your system immediately, if you notice that you’re paying more often for repairs, it may be time for a new one.
