IS IT TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR AIR CONDITIONER?
8 SIGNS YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR AIR
Have you been concerned about the performance of your air conditioner lately?
If you’re unsure about whether its time to upgrade, there are some signs you can watch out for. Here are some top reasons to consider before you update your air conditioner.
Age: The typical life expectancy of an air conditioner is around 10 years. If your air conditioner is older than 10 years and has been causing issues frequently, you may want to consider replacing it.
High energy bills: Newer air conditioning units are typically more energy efficient than older ones, which can result in lower energy bills. It could be a contributing factor if your energy bills are high on the days you use your air conditioner. An older or malfunctioning air conditioning unit may consume more energy, leading to higher energy bills.
New model Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners can achieve up to 47% energy savings when comparing the current model (MSZ-AP Series) with an older model from 2002.
Frequent breakdowns and repairs: If you are making regular repairs to your air conditioner, it may be a sign that it’s reaching the end of its useful life. Consider the cost of repairs versus the price of a new unit.
Poor performance: If your air conditioner is not reaching temperature the way it used to, or is struggling to keep your home at your preferred set temperature, it could be a sign your unit is long longer running efficiently.
Unpleasant odours and noise: An unusual smell or noise coming from your air conditioning unit may indicate a more serious problem. Contact our service department if you think your system needs to be looked at by a qualified service technician.
Poor indoor air quality: If you have noticed a decrease in indoor air quality, such as more allergens or dust, it may indicate that your air conditioning unit is struggling to work effectively.
The air conditioner model will determine the type of filters installed. Most air conditioning units typically come with a standard filter and may have optional filter upgrades. Some filter models are washable and have a long lifetime. However, after several years it is worth checking if it is necessary to replace the filters. You can purchase replacement return air grill filter material or replacement wall split filters from Needhamair.
The convenience of new technology: Newer air conditioning systems have the option of WiFi control. This will give you the ability to control your air conditioner from anywhere you have internet access.

Noise Levels: Is it hard to hear the tv over the noise of your air conditioner. Updated models contain more advanced technology designed to decrease the noise level of both indoor and outdoor units
