Throughout the year, residents in the Twin Cities area experience a full spectrum of weather events, from snow and rain to tornadoes, thunderstorms, humidity, and scorching heat. During the summer, we rely on our air conditioning and humidity control systems to keep our homes comfortable. If you’re unsure whether your air conditioner can make it through another year, watch out for the following signs. Consider preparing for summer with a new AC if:
-
Your current home comfort system is undependable: Enduring the cycle of frequent repairs can be frustrating, akin to keeping an old car running. However, there’s no value in preserving an outdated St. Louis Park heating and cooling system. Instead, invest in a new cooling system to enjoy immediate comfort and savings on utility bills. Additionally, the new energy-efficient system could even add value to your home.
-
Your energy costs are soaring: Escalating energy bills indicate that your system is performing poorly. Older systems simply can’t match the efficiency of modern, ultra-efficient equipment, even with regular maintenance.
-
Your home feels uncomfortably humid: Upgrading to a properly sized new air conditioner can significantly improve humidity control compared to older systems. Consider incorporating whole-house humidity control into your new system for optimal comfort.
-
Your cooling system is noisy: Excessive noise from your AC system is not only stressful but also a sign of underlying issues. Newer designs and proper installation ensure that your new system will operate much quieter.
-
Your air conditioning equipment is 10 years old or more: An AC system over a decade old is likely causing excessive energy expenses. Today’s systems are far more energy-efficient and require less power to keep your home comfortable, which is why Energy Star recommends replacing such older systems.
