Is Your AC System Telling You It’s Beyond Repair

With temperatures in Galveston, TX, rising this spring, you need your air conditioner to keep up with the heat. Unfortunately, you can’t always rely on repairs to keep it running. Read on to learn the signs your AC system is beyond repair and that your home needs a replacement.

Slow to Cool

One sign you need a new AC system is that it’s slow to cool. An effective air conditioner will make a noticeable difference in your home within an hour or less. When the AC system is on its way out, it may take hours or longer to make your home feel cooler.

Hot and Cold Spots

Your AC system should maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home, but as it breaks down, it might produce uneven or inconsistent temperatures. This results in both hot and cold spots.

Unusual Noises

Most AC systems produce a slight hum as they run, but if your air conditioner is producing louder noises that you cannot ignore, you may need a replacement. Squeaking and grinding sounds can indicate the need for repairs that are so expensive you’ll save money replacing the system.

High Energy Bills

A modern AC system is more efficient than an old air conditioner. When your system cannot keep up with the rising temperatures and your energy bills are doubling or tripling, it’s time to replace it.

Constant AC Repairs

We always tell homeowners to remain vigilant about the constant repairs their AC systems need. There comes a point when it’s cheaper to invest in a new AC system than to keep spending money on air conditioning repairs that only serve as temporary fixes.

It only takes one call to find out if you should replace your old AC system or keep spending money on needed repairs. Contact Roberts Air, LLC to schedule a consultation fora new AC installation for your Galveston, TX, home.
