If your home feels uncomfortable despite running your AC, you may be torn between repairing or replacing it, especially if it’s old and behaving strangely.
Typically, air conditioners begin to show signs of declining performance after 10 years of service. Older AC units often consume excessive energy due to aged components and lack of advanced technology for power reduction. If you notice a consistent increase in your utility bills, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a new air conditioner rather than reviving a failing unit.
In addition to cooling your home, your air conditioner also plays a role in regulating humidity. The evaporator coil in your cooling system condenses water vapor from the air, similar to how condensation forms on the outside of a cold glass. When hot, humid air in your home comes into contact with the AC’s cold evaporator coil, the moisture is condensed, reducing the humidity. The collected moisture is then drained away from your home.
If you frequently experience a sticky feeling in your home despite your AC running, it could indicate that it’s unable to effectively dehumidify. In such cases, your air conditioner may be inefficient or improperly sized for your home.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning, a reputable HVAC company in Bloomington MN, can help you decide whether to repair or replace your existing air conditioner. We offer a range of new AC units with features that improve home comfort while minimizing energy costs.
