Bryant Air Conditioning Installation or Repairs
With the summer temperatures starting to increase, we experience a bump in volume from customers calling for air conditioning repairs. When your air conditioning system breaks down, you may be faced with a tough decision.
Do you need to replace your air conditioner or will a repair suffice?
An air conditioning system is not a piece of equipment that you can repair it on your own. If you attempt to repair your air conditioner you may actually cause additional damage to your system. Preferably, you want to rely on a professional AC technician to perform your repair. You will also want to consider your budget to decide whether a repair of an older system is prudent or if you should install a new Bryant® air conditioning system. However, how do you know which is the best… replacement or repair?
When Repairs Are The Best Move
When our technicians take a look at your air conditioning system, we will inform you whether an AC repair is possible and if so, how many years that air conditioning repair will last. If your central air conditioning system has just started giving you problems, it may be that a simple parts replacement may suffice. For example, your central AC unit may only need a couple of parts such as a simple replacement capacitor.
However, it is important that you consider the cost as well as the age and the overall condition of your air conditioning system before rushing to have a repairman come to your home. If the air conditioning repair is going to become a significant expense, then a Bryant® Air Conditioning replacement may be better. And this may be the most cost-effective solution in the long term.
When To Consider A Bryant® AC Replacement
If the repairs to your air conditioning system are going to cost more than half of what an entirely new Bryant® air conditioning system would cost, and if your existing air conditioner is over 10 years old, then a replacement may be the best idea. In this scenario, your existing air conditioning system is wearing down anyway, even if you have had routine maintenance done on it every year.
Additionally, even with new parts, an aging air conditioner will start to fail more frequently and will not last much longer. Also, when parts for air conditioning replacements don’t match the system that they are installed in, they will have problems functioning correctly in the long run. The efficiency levels of your air conditioner will start to drop and therefore your cooling costs will rise. Putting a band-aid on an existing system may be a short-term solution to keep the air blowing cold in your home however, in these situations, it is wise to start planning for a complete replacement system.
