Due to the evolving technological advances in the HVAC industry, there are a lot more affordable AC systems available now than ever before. If you feel it’s time for a new system, it pays to shop around. The best place to start is by asking your friends or neighbors to offer suggestions or to make recommendations for a reputable company that provides air conditioning installations. You can also use the Internet to find reputable companies these days.

It’s sometimes hard to determine when it’s time for a new AC unit. If your unit is less than 12 years old, it is most likely that it will not need to be replaced unless it was not properly fitted to your home during the installation process.  A unit under 12 years old that is not functioning properly may be due to minor things, but these minor things will leave you in need of AC repair.  Improper installation, the wrong size filter, a thermostat installed in the wrong area, poor insulation, an undersized unit that doesn’t meet the square footage demand of your home – the list can go on and on.     

It could be something as easily remedied as an air duct system assessment. If your ducts are either too small or too large or if they have not been customized to service each room properly, this can cause major problems in how cool or warm each room will be. Air vents play a big role as well as to how comfortable a room will be. Each room should have a supply and return vent to ensure proper air flow. If these are not in place, this is a problem that can be easily remedied with AC repair services.

If you find yourself constantly calling for AC repair on your existing unit, then it’s most likely you purchased the wrong sized unit for your home, the unit is over 12 years old, or you purchased an inferior unit to save money. If you stick with the top name brands that are known to be trusted, then this will help save you money from constant AC repairs in the long run. Luckily, there are many AC repair companies in Atlanta that will also offer 24 hour AC services when you need them.
