Especially, in the Phoenix area, our air conditioning units work extra hard as they take on the extreme heat of the desert. Air conditioning is a critical system and significant expense and investment in our homes and offices. Seriously, we cannot survive long without proper air conditioning in the desert. When it’s time to consider the need to repair or replace your air conditioning system, we offer three major factors to consider when it comes to AC replacement.

1. Your Air Conditioner Is More Than 10 Years Old
Is your air conditioner more than ten years old? At and around the 10-year mark, many AC units start their decent into AC troubles and will likely need replacement in the near future. Some units will last a couple of years beyond this. At this age, most AC equipment efficiency is in decline.

With the advancement of technology, new AC models are far ahead of the older ones when it comes to efficiency of operation, saving resources, space, and monthly bills. Not to mention the Smart Home Technology that is available.

2. Too Many AC Repairs Occurring
Something else to note in older AC equipment is that once a unit starts needing repair after repair – it’s time to consult with your professional AC contractor. Beyond ten years of keeping your home comfortable, AC repairs can start mounting up and costing you lots of money. At this point, leaks can occur and parts wear out, and in many AC units, it can become too much to deal with. This is when it becomes time to determine if AC replacement is needed.

3. Energy Bills Continue to Rise
Once you notice a significant increase in your energy bill, pay attention to the AC to be sure it is running properly. After years of operation and especially if there has been little maintenance done, the equipment can lose efficiency and start costing you more money. Rising energy bills is one of the main clues to watch for with older AC units.

Be sure to contact Marlin Services, we’re always glad to help, 602-470-1040.

Spring has arrived and as the weather heats up in the Phoenix area homeowners are cleaning up, fixing up, and replacing air conditioners as needed across the city. Springtime is the optimal time to have your air conditioning system cleaned up, tuned up or replaced for the AC season ahead.

heat of summer

SHOULD YOU REPAIR OR REPLACE YOUR AIR CONDTIONER?

Living in the Phoenix Area we all know that a well-installed and properly operating air conditioning system is a must. This place is hot, so it’s great to go from the brutal heat into an ice cold mall or movie theater and it’s no surprise that swimming pools are such a common backyard feature.

But what happens when the air conditioning system that has so faithfully cooled your home for the past 10 summers stops doing its job?

Even though it’s a matter of comfort, affordability and safety the last thing you want to decide at the end of a 110-degree day is whether to repair or replace your air conditioning unit. Marlin Services wants to provide you with some information to help you make the right decision.

Repair:

1. Will you be moving soon? When you sell your home you might not get the return on investment you had hoped by installing a new air conditioner. To save money in this situation don’t replace your air conditioning system – have it repaired.

2. Is this the first time you’ve encountered a problem with your HVAC system? HVAC units that appear to be mechanically sound and haven’t required frequent repairs in the past shouldn’t need to be replaced.

3. Is your air conditioner costing you more in energy bills than it used to? If your unit is less than five years old simple repairs like replacing worn capacitors or standard maintenance like chemically cleaning the condensing coils can make a big difference in energy efficiency. If your HVAC system spends a lot of time cooling an empty house you might consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat. A properly programmed thermostat can save you money while you’re away and still have your home nice and cold when you get home.

4. You shouldn’t have to think twice about having your air conditioner repaired if the work is minimal and the bill is low. As long as your HVAC system works properly again this is a smart move.

5. Even some expensive repairs may be more cost-effective than replacing the entire system. Get a quote for the cost of the repair. If it’s 50% or less of the cost of having a new unit installed then have the repair performed instead

Here’s a bonus: if your unit is less than five years old there’s a good chance that the repair work will be covered under warranty!

Replace:

1. Is your air conditioning system more than 10 years old? If so, it’s time to invest in an ENERGY STAR unit. Your HVAC system has a life expectancy of about 10 years and once it’s this old repairing it can be like throwing money right out the window.

2. Summer is here – if you have an older unit that has required frequent repairs it’s best to prevent those nasty surprises by replacing it before it breaks down again.

3. There are currently manufacturer’s rebates and tax credits available that can lower the investment required.

4. If your energy bills are going up and your unit is over five years old it might be time to invest in a newer, more energy-efficient unit.

5. If your score is below five your home energy use is above average and you’re probably paying more than you need to on energy bills. Just remember repair tip #3 before making the big decision!

To change the temperature in your home, your heating and air-conditioning system pulls in air from inside your home, then blows the tempered air through ducts to the rooms in your home. That means, your air filters are an important part of your home. Air filters keep harmful particles away from the motor and coil. The blower motor will burn out if not kept clean and could cost you more than $300 to replace and if your coil freezes up it could cost you a whopping $1200 or more for a new compressor.

Also a dirty air filter makes your A/C unit work harder and longer causing your energy bill to increase by up to 35% or more each month.

Changing your air filter once a month will cut down on the airborne particles that cause allergies and viruses.

 According to the EPA, “Filters are used to protect the HVAC equipment from the buildup of unwanted materials on the surfaces such as fan motors and heating or cooling coils, and not for direct indoor air quality reasons. They have low efficiency on smaller airborne particles and medium efficiency on larger particles, as long as they remain airborne and pass through the filter. Some smaller particles found within a house include viruses, bacteria, some mold spores, a significant fraction of cat and dog allergens, and a small portion of dust mite allergens.”  THIS IS WHY WE AT MARLIN SERVIVES OFFER SEVERAL INDOOR AIR QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE AIR IN YOUR HOME.

Marlin Services has expert technicians that can help you with all your home repair needs! Contact us for more information about air filters and how we can best service you!
