Why Might You Need a New Air Conditioning Unit?
Most AC systems are designed to last around 10-15 years with proper maintenance and average usage. As a system ages, it might:
- Lose efficiency — Seals might loosen or minor leaks could develop, which could lead to an increase in your energy costs.
- Require repairs — Some minor issues may be easy to fix while others might require major intervention which could be less economical than replacing the system.
- Fail to keep up with your cooling needs — Additions to the family or medical requirements might dictate the need for a cooler environment.
Another reason our customers often replace their AC units comes in the form of construction and expansion. Adding a new room or two to your home is an exciting prospect; however, if your current air conditioning system was calculated on your home’s original size, you will need to replace it with a higher capacity unit to accommodate the new construction.

Niagara Falls homeowners deciding whether to repair or replace their air conditioning system need to consider the repairs’ cost versus the benefits of a new system.
Things to consider:
- Enhanced efficiency. Over time, a new unit may save you money on utility costs and repair costs.
- The remaining life span of your current unit. If your existing AC system is nearing the end of its useful service life, it may be time to consider a new system.
If your current unit is relatively new and repair costs are low, it usually makes sense to repair it.
