We’re almost at the time of year when air conditioners will go on a long hiatus. That doesn’t mean you should forget about your own air conditioner, however. This might be the best time for you to replace your AC if it is finally reaching the end of its service life.

When should you replace both your AC and furnace?

  • AC and furnace replacement is recommended when both systems are over 10 to 15 years old
  • Frequent repairs on either system can make full replacement more cost-effective
  • Replacing both systems together improves efficiency and system compatibility
  • New matched systems provide more consistent heating and cooling performance
  • Upgrading both units at the same time can reduce long-term energy and repair costs

How will you know if this fall is the “best time”? When is it time for an AC installation in Riverdale, GA? We’ll examine this below so you’ll have a better idea if you’re ready to get a new air conditioner. If you’re facing that decision soon, it may help to weigh your available air conditioning options before the next cooling season begins.
