Somerset County is among the biggest counties in New Jersey, and it’s near and dear to our hearts. We all rely on our AC units each summer in the Garden State. Because of that, it’s essential to enter the season with an AC that performs well and keeps you comfortable at home.
That’s not always possible as AC units have lifespans and sadly need to be replaced at inconvenient times. The last thing you want to do is wait around in a hot house for a new AC system when yours finally goes out. In some cases, your AC may be repairable, and that’s why we are always ready to thoroughly inspect your unit.
However, it may simply be time to replace your unit, especially if it’s 15-20 years old. At Queen B Plumbing, we work hard to ensure you get the best possible AC unit so you are comfortable year-round. Call Queen B Plumbing at (908) 633- 1333 to schedule an AC installation or consultation and speak to one of our skilled team members.
At Queen B Plumbing, we understand that AC installation can feel like a big commitment. That’s why we see many people continue to put money into repairing old air conditioners that won’t last much longer. Once an AC is old and requires frequent repairs, it’s typically best to invest in a new AC rather than spend money on more repairs.
That said, we always make sure to thoroughly inspect your AC unit and assess the situation to explore the best option for you. With years of experience, we can easily recognize the signs that it’s time for a new AC installation rather than a repair, such as:
While an AC can last up to 20 or more years, it’s quite rare. Here in New Jersey, the hot summers put AC units to the test each year. We typically see our customers get up to 15 great years out of their AC units, but they can last longer. After that, it often becomes an endless cycle of poor performance and frequent repairs.
We recommend you get a new AC before it breaks down and becomes an emergency. After all, nobody wants to suffer the mid-summer Garden State heat while waiting for a new AC.
Many of our customers at Queen B Plumbing sadly report exorbitant energy bills around the time their AC units start acting up. This happens because old AC units typically cycle more often but without positive results.
This will strain your AC further, and those dreaded energy bills will only cost more. We see this as a dead giveaway that your AC is likely on its last leg if it is 10-15 years old.
Unless your AC unit is under 10-15 years old, it may not be worthwhile to spend that much on repairs. While a $5,000 repair sounds steep, it’s worth it if you’ll get many more years out of the AC. However, we can’t recommend that you spend too much on repairs if your AC won’t last more than a couple of years.
Sure, basic AC maintenance is essential, and we recommend yearly checkups at Queen B Plumbing. However, it’s not normal to need AC repairs more than 1-2 times per year in most cases.
Not only is this expensive, but it’s a sign that your AC won’t last much longer. If this describes your situation and your AC is old, it may be time to simply upgrade to a new AC.
