Question 1

How do I know if I should have my AC repaired or if I should just replace it?

Accepted Answer

Having your AC repaired is generally much cheaper if you’re on a budget. However, this might not be the case if it’s an older model. This is because the older an AC unit is, the less efficient it becomes due to length of use and also due to the fact that energy efficiency standards improve each year.

Question 2

Does size of my air conditioner unit matter?

Accepted Answer

Size certainly does matter when it comes to your AC unit. Make sure you consult a professional about this so you can avoid problems down the line.

Question 3

Is there a way to make my AC unit last longer?

Accepted Answer

To make your AC unit last way longer, have it professionally cleaned and maintained by the servicing company you trust. For the rest of the year, you can do a bit of upkeep yourself such as cleaning out the filters, condenser, fins, condensate drain, and evaporator.

Question 4

What type of air conditioner should I go with?

Accepted Answer

This depends entirely on your needs. The most common type to go with is a central AC system, but this might not be the best choice for everyone. For instance, if you’re living in a small apartment or renting out a room in a larger house, you might want to invest in something that suits you. A portable air conditioner or a window type air conditioner would be your safest bet as they’re much cheaper and you can easily take them with you whenever you decide to move out.
