Generally, one or two repairs within a three-year period may indicate that your system is still in good enough condition to warrant another.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, if you exceed the 1-2 repair count within a short time, replacement might be a more viable option for your home and your wallet.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">4.

But an air conditioner, in particular one that won&#8217;t switch off on auto, might need some attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It&#8217;s a clear sign that your unit doesn&#8217;t have the capacity that it used to, when it&#8217;s constantly on. It could be dirty and need a good cleaning, or it could be an integral part, like a damaged compressor that&#8217;s causing issues. The sooner you can find out which it is, the better. Even if you&#8217;re happy with your home&#8217;s temperature, you won&#8217;t be when you see the associated energy bill.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">5.

Extreme discrepancies in temperature throughout the home are also a strong indication that your system may need replacement.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If your HVAC system is too large for your home, it could start short-cycling. This means the temperature is satisfied too quickly in a house, and the system shuts off soon after it kicks on. When this happens, the humidity remains, and it may feel warm and stickier in some areas of the home. A new system that&#8217;s the right size for your area will help you avoid those uneven swings in temperature in every room.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Unevenness in temperature throughout the home could also be due to your ductwork. If your ductwork is faulty, clogged, or dirty, it could be preventing warm or cool air from reaching where it needs to. Call a professional to confirm the culprit and determine whether you need a repair or full replacement.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Time for your replacement?
