Summers in Virginia can be brutally hot. This summer is no exception to that rule. Many homeowners rely on their HVAC systems in their homes for comfort and an escape from the heat. However, if your air conditioning unit is on its way out, now is the perfect time to contact Air Treatment Heating & Cooling for a new system. After all, a new air conditioning system is guaranteed to be more energy efficient than an old one. Here are some things to consider when having a new air conditioning system installed in your home:
Age Matters
Unfortunately, air conditioners do not age like wine. After years of wear and tear, your air conditioner is not as efficient as the day it was installed. A new air conditioner will be about 30% more energy efficient than an old one. If your unit is more than 10 years old, it may be time for a new one.
It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Humidity
If you are having issues with mold in your home, your old air conditioner may have played a crucial part in this. An older and less energy efficient air conditioner has difficulty completely cooling your home, which allows humidity to creep in and create the perfect conditions for mold growth.
Bills, Bills, Bills
Having high energy bills is another tell-tale sign that your air conditioning unit is on its way out. Since an older air conditioner is less efficient, it takes more power and energy to keep it running.
