October is a good month to replace your air conditioner
With fall temperatures dropping, the time to replace your air conditioner is now. Â Many companies offer incentives as they try to unload the remaining inventory, before the holiday season. Â
Here are five signs your air conditioner may be on the brink: Â
1) Â Temperature fluctuations. Â Test the temperature in various rooms, at various times, to see if the temperature on the thermostat is consistent throughout your home.
2) Â Noises. Â If you hear noises, this could be a sign of a mechanical issue, which may be remedied with good service, or may mean it's time to replace. Â These noises may also be contributing to higher utility costs.
3) Â False starts. Â Pay attention to how often your system starts, and if it starts and stops. Â This indicates the unit is not working properly.
4) Â High energy costs. Â An older unit is obviously less efficient, but an older unit that has mechanical issues is even worse. Â A new unit may greatly improve your energy bill.
5) Â Frequent repairs needed. Â Keep track of how many times you've had your unit serviced. Â Not only are these repairs costly, but could also be a sign that your unit is too small for your home. Â
So when you think about fall projects around the home, consider replacing your air conditioner. Â Replacing now may not only save you money on the cost of the unit, but on future energy costs. Â In addition, you will be very glad you did when your system is up and running when the spring temperatures begin to climb. Â
