Is It Time for an AC Replacement in Perris, CA?

Before the warm days of summer hit Perris, CA, spend a few minutes assessing the condition of your air conditioner. An AC replacement is a major project, but it’s necessary if your old system no longer meets your needs. Here are some ways to know if it is time to replace your air conditioner:

Diminished Airflow

The diminished flow of cool air from the vents is a sure sign of an AC system issue. Some potential causes are faulty blower motors and duct issues, which are often repairable. A blocked air filter will also restrict airflow, so be sure to change it every two to three months and schedule regular maintenance.

However, sometimes reduced airflow is a symptom of a failing air conditioner. If you’re facing expensive repairs and your system is more than 15 years old, replacing it may be a better option.

Unusual Sounds and Smells

Squeaking, chattering, grinding, burning smells, and other sounds and odors coming from the air conditioner require immediate attention. These signs are indicative of numerous potential problems, and an HVAC inspection reveals specific issues and the best solution. Some problems are serious, so don’t delay scheduling service for a new HVAC system installation today.

High Energy Costs

A failing air conditioning system works less efficiently than it should. Often, a struggling AC system runs for longer periods and works harder than a healthy air conditioner. One of the first signs of a failing air conditioner is higher than normal energy bills. We can assess your AC system to determine the best course of action.

The best time to replace an aging or struggling AC system is before summer is in high gear. To schedule an air conditioner installation in Perris, CA, call Castillo Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. today. We’re happy to provide a free estimate.
