A Day&Night air conditioner will give you about 10 to 15 years of service, on average. So one of the first things you will want to do is determine the age of your current cooling system and whether it is near the end of its useful life. The old unit deserves a replacement because modern models have more complicated design to satisfy homeowners needs better.
When your A/C is costing you a fortune in fixes, it could be time to install a new air conditioner. Consider a large repair bill for an older (but still serviceable) unit may be half the cost of a new replacement unit.
However, if you need to make another costly repair in a year or two (or 5) suddenly that short term cost-saving repair will end up costing you more than if you had just replaced the unit to begin with! Plus, that new air conditioner unit will come with a warranty and the expectation of trouble free operation for a decade.
But what should I do if I don’t know the age of the air conditioner? If the date is not obvious, photograph the nameplate or write down the brand name, model and serial number indicated. You can then use this information to track down when the unit was made, by either searching online or asking a knowledgeable HVAC pro.
