Is It Time to Say Goodbye to Your Air Conditioner?

When the summertime heat and humidity set in, it’s essential to have an HVAC unit that keeps your home cool and comfortable. How do you know when it is time to say goodbye to your air conditioner, though? Let’s look at some signs that your AC needs to be replaced.


Steadily Increasing Utility Bills

Have your utility bills steadily been creeping up over time? The culprit might be a faulty air conditioner. With proper maintenance, your air conditioning system should last between 10 to 15 years. Like any appliance, daily use slowly wears down the parts inside.


An old AC does not perform at peak efficiency, which causes cooling costs to climb. This is a red flag that it is time to say goodbye to your air conditioner. Replacing your AC with a new, more efficient one could save a significant amount of money. Reliable Heating and Cooling is here to help residents in Staten Island, NY, make these cost-saving changes.


Uneven Temperatures

Do you freeze in one room and burn up in the next as you walk through your house? When your HVAC unit performs poorly, it can lead to problems like uneven temperatures throughout your home. The harder your air conditioner must work to keep up, the faster it will wear out.


Our team of experienced professionals can help you make the best choices for upgrading your cooling system. We are devoted to providing top-quality service you can depend on. Reliable Heating and Cooling is there for you when it’s time to
replace your air conditioner.


Repeatedly Needing Costly Repairs

Regular maintenance is the key to having a long-lasting HVAC system. Eventually, though, every unit wears out. If your air conditioner is ten years old or older and you frequently call for repairs, it’s time to replace it.


Saying goodbye to an AC that keeps needing repairs will save you money and frustration in the long run. Take advantage of the opportunity to have a more energy-efficient model installed! We even offer
financing options to our customers to help make the transition more affordable.


Odd Noises

Is your air conditioner making grinding, rattling, or clanking sounds while running? Regular wear and tear throughout your unit’s lifetime can cause various parts to become loose or damaged inside your system. When this happens, it’s time to seek professional HVAC services. Our friendly staff will thoroughly answer your questions and help you every step of the way.


Reduced Air Quality

Have you noticed that your allergies are flaring up? Even with regularly changing your AC filters, the air quality in your home will slowly degrade as your HVAC system ages. If your system can no longer appropriately filter out dust, pollen, and other airborne pollutants, it might be time to say goodbye to your air conditioner. Replacing your old unit with a new model can give you the added benefit of an advanced filtration system to improve your home’s air quality.
