New Air Conditioner

 

It’s summer and that means it is time for air conditioning. Lately there have been some problems with the way your central air system runs. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know when to spend money on another repair and when it’s time to buy a new unit. Here are some reasons to decide that a new unit is what you need.

Reason #1: Old Age

Air conditioners older than 10 years are less efficient than their newer counterparts. They may be costing you more on your utility bills than a new unit would cost over time. An Energy Star-rated unit can save you up to 30% on your cooling costs every year.
