Homeowners in Baltimore need reliable air conditioning<\/a> to beat the summer heat and stay comfortable. That’s why a system that’s inefficient, unreliable, or old may be ready for replacement.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n The HVAC experts at United Air Temp discuss the importance of proactive AC replacement and five signs that it may be time to consider a new system for your Baltimore home.<\/p>\r\n Thanks to its hot and humid summers, Baltimore’s summer weather can reach temperature highs in the 90s. The high humidity makes this heat even more oppressive and can create a muggy feel, especially in afternoons and evenings during thunderstorms.<\/p>\r\n To ensure your comfort is never compromised, we recommend scheduling an AC replacement<\/a> before a total breakdown. If your AC meets one of the five criteria below, it may be time to call our team.<\/p>\r\n An unreliable AC can put your health at risk, especially during one of Baltimore’s hottest days. That’s why a system that requires frequent AC repairs<\/a> may need to be replaced.<\/p>\r\n In general, if your system requires repairs more than once a year, we recommend calling our professionals.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Homeowners should consider an AC replacement if the cost to repair their system is more than 50% of the AC installation cost.<\/p>\r\n This is often the case when homeowners need more expensive components repaired, including the compressor, condenser coil, or evaporator coil.<\/p>\r\n Most air conditioning systems last 10 to 15 years. If your system is nearing the end of this lifespan, a replacement can ensure that you have an AC that’s both efficient and reliable.<\/p>\r\n While your system’s lifespan is affected by frequency of use, climate, and more, homeowners can help extend the lifespan of any unit by scheduling AC maintenance<\/a> to prevent premature system failure.<\/p>\r\n The 2025 refrigerant mandate<\/a> has resulted in the phasing out of many older refrigerant types, including R-22 (Freon) and R-410A.<\/p>\r\n These changes result in higher prices for recycled or stockpiled refrigerant and could impact the cost to repair your AC if it starts to leak refrigerant.<\/p>\r\n As your AC ages, it loses efficiency. If you’ve noticed a steady increase in your energy bills, an inefficient system could be to blame.<\/p>\r\n Choosing to replace your unit with a new energy-efficient air conditioner can improve your comfort and provide long-term savings on operating costs.<\/p>\r\n Choosing the right system for your Baltimore home depends on a variety of factors, including:<\/p>\r\n Central AC isn’t your only option.
