You want the air conditioning system that keeps your family comfortable every summer to last for as long as possible. Eventually, no matter how well you care for and maintain your <a href=\"\/service-areas\/west-chester-pa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">air conditioning in West Chester, PA<\/a>, it will wear down to a point where it is no longer effective and efficient enough to be worth keeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that it\u2019s fall and you are looking forward to a period of cooler weather, ask yourself if your air conditioning system has reached the finish line and is ready to retire. The fall is a good season to schedule a new installation, so if you believe your AC just had its last summer, arrange for a replacement with our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to Tell It\u2019s Time for a New AC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, you won\u2019t have any doubts about whether to install\na new air conditioning system or not\u2014if the AC has broken down entirely, you\u2019ll\nknow what to do! It\u2019s rarely so cut-and-dried, so below are some of the signs\nof a dying AC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Rising utility bills: <\/strong>An air conditioner that is regularly maintained will keep 95% of its energy efficiency rating until the end of its service life\u2014at which point the efficiency will begin to drop and electricity bills rise. If you\u2019ve seen a rise over the past two years in the cost to run the AC in summer (and it\u2019s not connected to an increase in use or the cost of electricity), then it usually means the AC is in its last stages.<\/li><li><strong>Frequent repairs:<\/strong> An AC shouldn\u2019t need to have a repair every year. Or even every other year. If you\u2019ve gotten to know our repair pros on a first name basis\u2014well, we\u2019re glad you appreciate our friendliness, but it\u2019s probably time to have a new AC put in rather than keep up with repairs.<\/li><li><strong>The cost of repairs:<\/strong> Also important when it comes to repairs is their price tag. Any single repair for an AC necessary to keep it running that is more than 50% of the price of a replacement is too much.<\/li><li><strong>Loud operation:<\/strong> A single odd noise from the AC often means it needs to be repaired. General loud sounds most likely mean the air conditioner is run-down and coming near to the end of its service life.<\/li><li><strong>Uneven cooling:<\/strong> If not all the rooms in your house are receiving the amount of cooling they once did, it often indicates an air conditioner that is past the point where repairs will help it.<\/li><li><strong>Age:<\/strong> Although the age of a system isn\u2019t an automatic indicator of whether it needs to be replaced or not, an AC over 15 years old is near to retiring\u2014especially if you\u2019ve noticed the other problems above. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Michall Daimion Heating &amp; Air Conditioning, Inc. has been the Main Line\u2019s Premier Service Provider since 1976. <a href=\"\/contact\/estimates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Request an estimate for air conditioning service today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fall is a good season to schedule a new installation, so if you believe your AC just had its last summer, arrange for a replacement with our team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[40,89,91],"class_list":["post-494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioning-system-installation","tag-air-conditioning-system-replacement","tag-west-chester"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":498,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494\/revisions\/498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
