Signs You Need AC Replacement

Are you wondering if it’s time to look into AC replacement in Charlotte, NC? At the end of the day, you should consult a professional like the ones at Dilling to make the best, most informed decision, but we’ve compiled some tips to help you in the meantime.

Older than 10-15 Years

The lifespan of an air conditioner can be impacted by how well it was maintained, however, there comes a point where it may get harder to find parts and you may be experiencing more malfunctions no matter what. Consider how old your current system is when deciding whether to replace it.

Constant Repairs

If you’re needing to get AC repairs frequently enough that an air conditioning replacement is more cost effective, then you should consider replacement.

Frequent Cycling

If your AC is cycling more than three times per hour unexpectedly despite AC repairs, it may be at the end of its lifetime and ready for air conditioner replacement.

Strange Noises

Keep your ears open for any clanking or banging sounds when your air conditioner runs. This can be due to a serious issue that may make repairs difficult or cost prohibitive.

Bizarre Odors

You shouldn’t be experiencing the smells of burning or rotten eggs while your air conditioner is running. That could be due to a broken motor or leaking refrigerant. The former can be expensive to fix, so you have to weigh the cost of the repair vs. new air conditioning installation in Charlotte.

Excessive Humidity

Pay attention to the level of humidity in your home. If it rises for no particular reason, it could be that your air conditioner is not functioning properly anymore. Consult a professional to diagnose the problem.

Not Cooling Adequately

Air conditioners should obviously cool the air in your home. If it’s taking an extra long time to achieve the correct temperature or is never reaching the correct temperature at all, then that could indicate a serious malfunction.

Freon/R22 Refrigerant

This is a type of refrigerant that is no longer produced in the United States due to federal regulations put forth in 2020. Air conditioners that rely on Freon will not be able to be repaired if there is a problem with the refrigerant, so that would require an air conditioner replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioner Installation

We’ve put together answers to questions we often receive about air conditioning installation and replacement services.

How long does it take to get AC installation in Charlotte, NC, done?

If the situation is standard, you can expect the air conditioning installation process to take about a single day of work. If you need work done on your ducts or electrical system, however, you may be looking at a longer timeline.

If I get a new air conditioner, will my energy bills be lower?

That’s a common outcome, yes. That’s because newer air conditioners have updated technology that prioritizes energy efficiency.

Is it always better to get the biggest possible air conditioner installed?

No, that’s not the case. You need to have a Manual J calculation performed that takes into account your square footage, occupancy, climate, and orientation of windows in order to figure out the optimal size of air conditioning system for your home. A system that’s too big will short cycle (turn on and off too frequently), which will lead to higher humidity levels and an increased risk of mold in your house.

Do I need a permit for AC installation?

You’ll need to check with the local Charlotte jurisdiction to see if permits are required to get an air conditioner installed in your home.
