Importance of Air Conditioner Replacement Over Repair

Importance of Air Conditioner Replacement Over Repair

Living in a well-ventilated space and having a functioning air conditioner is the ultimate goal for everyone. However, many electrical devices require close monitoring to know when to repair or replace them. Air conditioner installation in Toronto has become a common practice hence the need to learn when to replace the AC is critical.

When to Replace the AC

We all agree that homeowners have several decisions to make, some of which require intensive research while others are straightforward. For instance, choosing to invest in a home plays a vital role in enhancing its value, but you will have to make sober decisions of where and how.

The decision of when and who should replace or repair your AC system is not a walk in the park, more so being the first time. Although a couple of people have shifted to DIY projects, it is an uphill task for them to decide whether the AC needs repair or replacement. While else you might treasure your old AC, choosing to replace it becomes the most viable option. For your air conditioner installation in Toronto or repair services, ensure that you interact with the experts who will advise accordingly.

When You Should Replace Your AC:

- Rising energy bills
- Frequent AC breakdown
- An AC nearing the end of its lifespan (15-20 years)
- Increased cost of repair

Benefits of AC Replacement over Repair

Choosing to replace your AC is a decision accompanied by several benefits, as highlighted in this article. New air conditioners have proved to be more efficient as opposed to old ones. Nonetheless, new air conditioners guarantee better air quality of a home or office space. Many people choose to replace their AC’s as a way of saving on energy bills. It is imperative to ensure that the AC is replaced rather than spending a fortune to repair the old AC. Besides, you will be saving a few bucks since you won’t have to deal with the monthly repair costs.

FAQ

  • What are mini-split advantages?

    Just as the name implies, a “mini-split” system is a “split system” however available in smaller capacities, for single room to whole house conditioning. Mini-split systems may range from as small as 9,000 BTUh per hour, comparable to say, a small window AC unit, for individual room use, up to 4 and 5 ton capacities for “Room By Room” (also known as “Zoning”) and whole house conditioning. With near universal design, mini-splits are “heat pumps” which provide both heating and cooling for a home. Here are key advantages when compared to traditional split systems:

    Efficiency- Mini-splits are highly engineered systems which offer attractive operating efficiencies, in many instances, eligible for utility company rebates.
    Heat Pump- Most mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing year-round comfort.
    Solar friendly- Due to very low power requirements, mini-splits are an ideal complement to “Net Zero Energy” homes, or any home using renewable power.
    Carbon footprint- Mini-splits are 100% electric, with zero operating emissions of any type.
    Zoning- Most mini-split manufacturers offer systems capable of room-by-room “zoning”, to account for peak demands of a room based upon construction type, exposure orientation and usage.
    Variable capacity- Mini-splits are typically DC inverter driven. That is, a variable speed compressor which modulates in proportion to instantaneous demand. Most conventional split systems, by comparison, operate with an ON-OFF strategy. (Would you use an ON-OFF switch as the accelerator in your vehicle?)
    Location, Location, Location!- Mini-split outdoor units are compact; they can be located far away from noise-sensitive areas, such as bedrooms and home offices. Mini-split indoor units have the ability to be installed where conventional systems cannot.
    They’re perfect for additions and remodels where access to current HVAC system is difficult to access.
    Modern mini-split systems are remarkably quiet; in fact, many times their operation is unnoticed by the end user.

  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.

  • Most common Boiler Issues

    - Boiler fails to ignite
    - Low pressure
    - Strange Noises
    - Boiler is not responding to the thermostat
    - Cold Radiators
    - Boiler leaking or dripping
    - Boiler cycling very fast
    - Available Hot water but No Heat

  • Why should I maintain my Furnace or AC?

    An annual maintenance will extend the lifetime of your heating and cooling unit. The technician will diagnose and repair any problem with the unit before it fails, so you won't need to worry about any problems when the weather gets very hot in the summer or extremely cold in the winter.
