FAQ: Replacing an Air Conditioner in Vancouver - Cost vs. Risk
Summary
What are the hidden costs of waiting for my air conditioner to break down before replacing it?
Waiting can lead to higher expenses due to repeated repairs, increased utility bills from inefficient operation, and the risk of total failure during high-demand months, which may result in longer wait times and limited part availability.
When should I consider replacing my air conditioner before it breaks down?
Consider replacement if your unit is over 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, causes increasing energy bills, fails to cool your home properly, or if you’re planning renovations that could benefit from a more efficient system.
How does the age of my air conditioner affect its performance?
Most AC units have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, after which performance declines and the risk of failure increases, making older systems less efficient and more costly to operate.
What are the benefits of proactively replacing my air conditioner?
Proactive replacement can save money on energy bills and repairs, improve home comfort, avoid peak season failures, and enhance energy ratings for your home.
How important is the size of the new air conditioner unit?
Proper sizing is crucial; a unit too small won’t cool effectively, while an oversized one will cycle too frequently, wasting energy and wearing out faster. A certified HVAC technician can recommend the right size.
