When Should You Replace an AC?

Many customers struggle with the decision to repair or replace their air conditioning unit. In some cases, it is more cost-efficient to get a new system over repairing a broken one. Though the upfront costs may be more, the energy savings and decreased likelihood of future repairs can end up saving you money in the long run. 

Signs You Need a New Air Conditioner:

• If your AC unit is frequently turning on and off, commonly referred to as short cycling
• If you are looking for a newer, more energy efficient air conditioner with a higher SEER rating
• If your air conditioning system requires constant or very similar repairs
• If your system still uses R22 Freon
• If your unit will not start up even when the thermostat is going 

Our Brooklyn AC installation technicians will discuss all the options with you and provide our professional opinion. In the end, you make the decision, and we will provide whichever solution you choose. After the installation, we also provide routine maintenance to ensure your new system will last for years to come.
