With age comes the inevitable decline in AC performance. Wear and tear tend to be cumulative with AC systems, and your unit may take longer to cool the home, fail to cool the home evenly or struggle to keep up when intense heat prevails. Higher cooling costs are associated with older and malfunctioning air conditioners, since the decline in deficiency results in the system working harder to compensate and drawing more electricity to power the unit.
You may also hear your AC system grind, chatter, or squeak if it has a problem. A properly functioning AC system should operate at a barely detectable noise level. Noises are indicative of a potentially costly repair on the horizon. The same is true of foul odors. If your AC unit is putting out anything other than neutral-smelling air—including a burning or smoky odor—seek immediate help from a qualified HVAC technician.
Similarly, an aging AC may experience sudden breakdowns that cost a significant amount of money to repair. In some instances, repairs may be so costly that the feasible thing is to opt for new air conditioner installation. As a rule, if a single repair costs half of what a new system costs, it’s usually wiser to just go for the new installation.
