What Are The Dangers Of Keeping A Dying AC Unit?

Many people tend to hang on to their AC units until the unit’s dying breath. They believe that holding onto their old unit as long as possible will save them both time and money and will allow them to get the most of their money’s worth. Unfortunately, this very mindset can ultimately be the thing that costs them more money, creates a bigger headache, and wastes more of their own time. Here are just a few of the ways that hanging on to an old AC unit could negatively impact you:

Wasted Energy Costs

One of the most common realities that we see with older AC units that are on their way out is how much they tend to increase your electricity bill. When working with clients whose AC units are on the way out, we commonly hear complaints of increased energy bills, even though they feel like they haven’t increased their usage. However, an increase in usage isn’t always something you are aware of! In fact, if your AC unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, chances are it is having to work overtime to accomplish the same cooling demand you had for the years previous. And an increase in energy exertion leads directly to an increase in energy costs. So while you might think you’re saving money keeping that old unit for as long as possible, you could actually save money in the long run by replacing it sooner. 

Damage To The Rest Of The System

As mentioned above, when your AC unit is older, it is likely it will have to work harder to maintain the normal temperature you desire. When this is occurring, there is something other than your energy bill that can be affected. The rest of your AC system is having to work overtime in tandem with your AC unit, meaning you have a much greater chance of damaging another part of your system. Again, while you might think you are saving both time and money by not replacing your AC unit just yet, you could actually be causing greater damage to your system as a whole, which can cost you dearly. 

Warm/Hot Air Throughout Your Space

Finally, one other danger of not replacing your AC unit promptly is having to live with warm or hot air throughout your home or business. And while this might not be bothersome in the Fall, Winter, or Spring months, it can become uncomfortable, and even dangerous, in the summer. When your AC unit can no longer effectively cool your inside space, a 90-degree day turns from something you hide out inside from to a danger you can’t escape. When this happens, you don’t just have an AC repair need on your hands, you have an AC emergency! Don’t let a small fix turn into a large-scale operation. 

Will My New AC Unit Come With A Warranty? 

In many cases, yes! Nowadays, most manufacturers offer some kind of warranty on their new air conditioning units. The details of that warranty can vary greatly—whether they offer 5 years or 15 years, or if they cover minor repair costs or will cover an entire replacement. The good news is that you can often hunt for the best deal with the best manufacturer and have a great bargain. However, with the warranties often come a few stipulations that you will have to abide by in order to maintain the warranty coverage. Here are just a few of the things that you might be responsible for:

• Proof of Regular Maintenance: You will need to keep a record of every time your new unit was maintained by an HVAC technician. Most warranties require professional upkeep maintenance in order to ensure the AC unit wasn’t damaged due to overall neglect and user error
• Registration: Most warranties require you to register your AC unit. This helps keep all your information in the manufacturer’s database in order to verify details of your purchase, repair history, and more. Be sure to register your new unit as soon as you can!
• Professional Repairs Only: The other normal stipulation is that your AC unit is never attempted to be repaired by anyone other than a professional HVAC technician.

Following these stipulations means you can save repair costs in the long run, even if it feels like a lot to maintain in the short term. Don’t want to have to think about all of this?
