Any homeowner in West Palm Beach, FL, with an air conditioner knows it’s expensive to operate it during the summer. If you’ve noticed that your AC system is costing you more than usual, it’s likely running inefficiently. Here are a few key indicators that your AC system requires a repair or a complete replacement:
Old AC System
If your current air conditioning system is at least 10 years old, it’s time to upgrade it. As time passes, air conditioning technology becomes more efficient. Investing in a newer model of air conditioning system can help you enjoy more energy efficiency and savings.
Poor Airflow
If you’ve noticed that the airflow in your AC system doesn’t seem to be up to par, it could be time to replace your air filter. When the filter reaches the end of its lifespan, it clogs, and your air conditioner has to work harder to move air throughout your home. Replacing the air filter will instantly enhance the efficiency of your air conditioner.
Low Refrigerant
Another indicator of an inefficient home air conditioning system is a low refrigerant level. You’ll notice that your air conditioning system isn’t blowing a lot of cold air. You’ll need to call an air conditioning professional to recharge your system’s refrigerant level to get it back up and running properly.
Inefficient Cooling
If you notice that your air conditioning system is constantly running without cooling your home, it could be due to a faulty thermostat. It might also signal a more serious problem. Seek professional guidance to diagnose the issue and resolve it.
