Recognizing the Right Time to Upgrade Your Air Conditioning System

When it comes to surviving Cornelius, OR's scorching summers, a dependable AC unit is your best friend. But how do you determine when it's time to bid farewell to your old unit and welcome a new one? Let's talk about telltale signs indicating that an AC replacement might just be the ticket to maintaining your home's comfort levels.

Overview of Key Signs That Indicate AC Replacement is Needed

Knowing when to replace your AC isn't just about comfort—it also impacts your wallet. We'll help you spot the signs that it might be time for your AC to retire.

Major Indicators for AC Replacement

  • System Age and Expected Lifespan

Most air conditioners have a happy retirement age between 10 and 15 years. If yours is pushing this limit or has already passed it, it's likely time to start thinking about a replacement.

  • Repair Frequency and Costs

If it feels like your HVAC technician is on your speed dial, and your wallet is starting to feel the pinch from frequent repairs, it might be more economical in the long run to invest in a new system.

  • Performance Decline

Has your AC lost its chill? If you’re noticing it struggles to keep the house cool or some rooms are cooler than others, your system’s efficiency might be on the decline. This is a classic sign that a replacement could be on the horizon.

  • Increasing Energy Bills

Watching your energy bills climb each month is no fun. If there’s no end in sight to rising costs, consider this your AC’s way of saying it’s not as young as it used to be. Upgrading to a newer, more efficient model can often help you save money in the long run.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
