Is Your A/C System Dying? Here's How to Tell
Main | Blog
As a homeowner in San Jose and the Silicon Valley area, it’s essential to recognize the signs that your air conditioning (A/C) system might be nearing the end of its service life. Like any mechanical component, your A/C system will eventually succumb to wear and tear. When multiple parts start to fail, maintaining the unit can become more costly than upgrading to a new one. Here are the key indicators that your A/C might be approaching its final days.
Lack of Regular Maintenance
Skipping routine furnace maintenance is a common reason for breakdowns. During our maintenance visits, AAA technicians clean components, check for wear, and test the system’s performance. Without this upkeep, small issues can snowball into major failures.
Scheduling an annual inspection and tune-up before the heating season begins ensures your furnace operates efficiently and reliably. Maintenance also extends the lifespan of the equipment and helps keep energy bills manageable.
Signs Your A/C System is Failing
1. Frequent Repair Calls
Are you constantly scheduling repairs with your HVAC contractor? If you find yourself making many service calls just to keep your system running, this is a strong indication that your unit is reaching its tipping point. When multiple components start malfunctioning in quick succession, it’s time to consider a full system replacement.
2. Declining Performance
If your air conditioner seems to be running longer just to maintain a consistent temperature, this is a sign of significant wear and tear. When minor repairs and part replacements fail to restore proper cooling performance, it may indicate that the system has deteriorated beyond repair.
3. Rising Energy Bills
Have your electricity bills been climbing during the cooling season? An aging A/C unit uses more energy due to its declining efficiency. If you notice higher costs, it could be time to cut your losses and upgrade your system for improved energy efficiency.
4. Major Component Failures
Some repairs can be deal-breakers for older A/C systems, especially those involving major components like the compressor. If your compressor fails and your system is already midway through its expected lifespan, it may not be worth the expense of repair. Upgrading to a new system can enhance cooling performance and lower energy costs.
