An air conditioning unit is an investment in your home. Over time that investment can deteriorate. One of the ways to prevent that from happening too soon is to schedule summer HVAC tune-up and preventative maintenance in Snohomish with Cascade Energy Services. However, if your AC is at the point of constantly needing repairs, you may wonder if it is time to replace it. Here are some tips that can help you decide with repairing or replacing is best.
How Often Are You Having It Repaired?
Every appliance has a general life span, including your air conditioning system. Depending on the type of HVAC system you have, it could be anywhere from ten to twenty years. A newer system would justify repairs, but it might be time to replace it if it’s an older model. The age of your HVAC unit can be a factor in whether you should replace the system.
How Efficient is Your HVAC System?
The AC systems of today are much more efficient than those of bygone eras. As older units are used, your utility bills can increase. This is a definite sign that it is time to buy a new air conditioner. You may be surprised at how much a new unit can save on your energy bill.
Is The Temperature Hard to Control?
Another sign that your unit may be on the way out is temperature fluctuations. You should be able to set your AC temp and then not worry about out. But, if your system can’t keep up with the temperature or doesn’t distribute the air evenly, it may be time for a new one.

Bane and the crew from Casacade Energy Services did an excellent, professional installation of our new Trane furnace (nice and quiet!), along with a house surge protector and earthquake cutoff mechanism for our gas line. Bill was courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful. Also, his office staff helped us through all the warranty work and helped answer questions about rebates. We couldn't ask for a better experience. We will be using them for the annual furnace check up. Thanks, Bill and crew!
