Lennox Merit Series ML14XC1 Air Conditioner

As much as we want to, air conditioners don’t last a lifetime. Depending on usage and maintenance, a typical cooling system can last between 10 and 12 years. But how will you know if your existing AC should be replaced?

Your friendly HVAC company in White Bear Lake MN should be able to help you make the best decision. For your reference, Four Seasons Air Specialists has a dedicated team of trained and seasoned cooling technicians who can offer their expert opinion and give you reasonable recommendations.

Common AC Problems

Inefficiency

Compared to a new AC, an old cooling system could perform less efficiently because some of its parts may have been damaged such as the fans, coils, or in more extreme cases, the compressor. Any of these issues can cause your air conditioner to overwork and still deliver unsatisfactory results.

Ice Buildup

Too low outside temperature, low refrigerant, and poor airflow are just some of the reasons why an air conditioner can accumulate ice on the evaporator coils. If you notice a lot of ice buildup on the external parts of the system, this could mean that there is a more serious problem such as a refrigerant leak, a broken fan, or a failing condenser.

Poor Air Quality

The fact of the matter is, the older the air conditioner, the more frequent it needs to be cleaned. When neglected, your system can effectively circulate allergens such as cold and mildew, which can trigger or aggravate respiratory or skin conditions.

If you notice any of these signs, along with abnormally higher electricity and repair bills, you may want to consider getting a new air conditioner altogether.
