When to Replace
Your Air Conditioner

Recognizing when it’s time to replace your air conditioner is essential for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. At F.J. Murphy & Son, Inc., we understand the challenges homeowners face in making this decision. Here are six key signs that suggest it might be time for a new air conditioning unit:

Age

An old AC unit loses efficiency and drives up energy costs. Keep track of its age and upgrade to a newer, more efficient model to avoid repairs and lower bills.

Frequent Repairs

If you find that are scheduling air conditioning repairs more often, it might be time to consider investing in a new air conditioning system to avoid costly repairs.

Rising Energy Bills

As air conditioning units age, they become less energy-efficient, resulting in higher utility bills. Invest in air conditioning unit replacement to save money.

Inconsistent Cooling

Temperature inconsistencies in certain rooms may indicate that your AC system is not working efficiently due to its age and deteriorating performance.

Excessive Noise

If your AC unit is making excessive noises, have it checked out by an air conditioning professional to avoid bigger problems. You may need a new AC system.

Poor Air Quality

Your AC unit affects indoor air quality. If you notice that your indoor air quality has deteriorated, it may be time to replace your air conditioning system.

Recognizing these signs early can save you from discomfort and costly repairs down the road. F.J. Murphy & Son, Inc. specializes in AC installation services, regardless of your unit’s make or model. Our professional installation ensures your home stays cool and comfortable, offering the cooling solutions you need. Trust our expert team for reliable AC installations.

When should I purchase a new heating or air conditioning system?

At F. J. Murphy & Son, Inc., we realize that purchasing a heating or air conditioning system is no small matter. However, if your existing system is old, in need of continual repair or simply inefficient, purchasing a new unit, one which can be as much as 60% more efficient than a system purchased just 10 years ago, can offer long-term benefits. Rather than continuing to pay for costly repairs and costly monthly bills, you can invest in a new system today that will help save you money for years to come.

How can I find the system that’s right for me?

There are many heating and air conditioning systems to choose from today. We draw on our vast degree of heating and air conditioning knowledge and experience to help you decide on the system that best fits your specific needs. The size and age of your property, as well as the number of rooms, climate, local and regional utility costs, and utility incentive/rebate programs are all factors that will affect the functionality and, therefore, selection of your system. Utilizing the latest technology, we consider all these factors while assisting you in choosing the best system.

Consumers seeking to replace an existing system often choose a new unit with equal or higher efficiency ratings compared to their previous system. Replacing a unit that is 10 to 15 years old may reduce natural gas or electricity costs by 30 to 50%.

How do I determine the size, or capacity, of my HVAC system?

Factors affecting the size of your new system include our regional climate, inside and outside humidity levels, the number of windows and doors in your structure, total square footage inside, the geographic direction your property faces, the number of heat-producing appliances, the type of insulation you have, and the number of people that typically occupy the premises.

We can perform the proper calculations to determine the appropriate heating or cooling unit for your home or business.

I have a new air conditioning system but it's still too hot upstairs. Is this normal? Is there anything we can do about it?

This is a common problem usually found in two story buildings that were built without zone controls (separate thermostats for upstairs and downstairs). The best way to solve the problem is to adapt a new zone control system; it brings the temperature closer to being even.  Short of doing that, one thing that you can do to help but not solve the problem is to run the blower continuously. This helps to mix the upstairs air and downstairs air.

However, the electrical usage of the blower is a factor and can run as high as $50 or more per month if you let it run 24 hours per day. It’s best to run it only during severe problem times. Closing down all of the downstairs registers in order to force more cool air upstairs is usually not advisable since such an airflow restriction may cause icing of the evaporator coil, which will create a non-cooling situation.
