AC Repair or AC Installation?

The truth is that you know when your air conditioner is not doing a good job. It might be doing something, but you know it is not keeping your home cool like it used to. It is best to not put off the repair and to make an appointment with an HVAC repair specialist. Do this right away to determine if you need ac repair or a new ac installation.

For one thing, the cooling season isn’t over. Repairing your air conditioner will improve your quality of life. It will also lower your energy bills. Not having repairs taken care of right away we likely end up costing you more down the road.

Why it is Not OK to Put Off AC Repairs

You may be hoping to just get through one more season or that with rest over the winter your air conditioner will somehow improve and not require ac installation. Unfortunately, the air conditioner will not just get better on it’s own.

This is what generally happens when you put off air conditioner repairs:

The problem gets worse:

No matter what the problem with your air conditioner is, if you put it off, it is going to get worse. Your coil will get more caked with dirt, the leak will get larger, or the clanking sound will get louder. In many cases one problem will even create another problem, such as a worsening leak doing even more water damage to your home. What could have been a simple repair may now require a whole new ac installation.

Your air conditioning system will stop working altogether:

If you continue to run an air conditioning system that is broken or in need of maintenance or repair, eventually the system will break to a point that it no longer works. Your home will be without cool air in what can be the hottest part of the year in some parts of the country.

The cost for repairs will increase:

By putting off taking care of an air conditioning problem and allowing it to get worse, the price it will cost to repair your system is going to go up. As the problem becomes worse and the damage more extensive, the cost to fix it can increase dramatically, and very quickly.

Your air conditioner may break beyond repair:

When your system is used while it is in ill repair, and eventually breaks down completely, it often can not be repaired. If you have to have a new AC installation, it is likely to cost far more than your initial repair bill would have, if you had just had the air conditioner repaired in the first place.

New AC Installation

If your system is broken beyond repair or you haven’t had an AC installed before, Mullin Plumbing, HVAC, Septic & Electric in Broken Arrow, OK., is here to help!

Autumn is the best time to buy a new air conditioning unit. It is also the best time to have one installed. Spring and fall have the mildest temperatures, therefore, the demand for air conditioning units is lower. This is especially true in the months of September, October and November, when people are more concerned about providing heat. It is a great time for ac installation because without extraordinary temperatures, it is easier to schedule your installation.
