Air Conditioning Installation in San Antonio (210) 764-7123

Most homeowners will try to avoid air conditioning system replacement until it’s too late and usually the hottest part of the summer. There are some signs that can clue you in before you have an emergency.

Some of the common problems that require replacement are:  

• Older units: Is your AC system more than 10 -12 years old? The  technology that went into its manufacture could be so outdated that it’s  costing you more time, money and worry than it’s worth.
• Strange loud noises: clattering, banging, noises, emitted from your older air conditioner. Black dust coming from the vents are clear signs that something is wrong.
• High energy costs: While the air conditioner is one of the  largest consumers of energy in your home, at some point the monthly cost  may spike, indicating a clear need for replacement.
• Constant repairs: At some point, the constant need  for repairs can outweigh the cost of a brand new unit. Also, the  need for constant repairs indicates your older unit is beyond saving .
