Still sweating with the AC running? It might be more than a heatwave—it could be your AC crying for help. Here are the top warning signs you might need an air conditioner replacement instead of another repair.
Tired of calling the AC tech every few weeks? If your system keeps acting up, especially in extreme heat, it's probably time to stop patching and start thinking about replacing.
Seeing a spike in your electricity bills? Older ACs have to work harder, burning more energy. A modern system cools better and costs less to run.
Most units lose efficiency after 10 years. If yours is pushing past that—and cooling worse than before—it’s likely time for a replacement.
Cool in one room, warm in the next? You might have a failing compressor or deeper issues. A full replacement could be the smarter long-term choice.
If your system is fairly new and the issue is small (like a thermostat or fan motor), go for the repair. But if repairs are frequent or pricey, replacement might save you more in the long run.
When the heat hits hard, emergency repair is a quick fix—but not always the most cost-effective one. A full system replacement delivers peace of mind, efficiency, and better cooling.
Don’t ignore the signs. Replacing your AC might seem like a big step, but it pays off in comfort and savings. Need help deciding? Capitol Cooling is here 24/7 for honest advice, emergency service, and full replacements.
