It can be tough to know when it is time for a new AC unit. While many issues can be remedied through repairs, sometimes, you are better off just replacing the whole unit. This is particularly true if you have an older unit. If your AC system is between 10 and 15 years old, it may not make sense to keep spending money on repairs.
Other signs it’s time to consider AC replacement include:Â
If you notice any of these signs, call SALT. Our team can perform an inspection of your unit and make an honest recommendation. If we are confident that a repair can fix your unit long-term, we won’t recommend a replacement.Â
On the other hand, if we don’t think it’s wise to invest in further repairs, we’ll recommend replacement and can work with you to find a new unit.
We know that AC replacement can be expensive, and the idea of getting a new unit can seem stressful. Our team is here every step of the way to make the process as painless as possible.Â
A new AC unit is a great long-term investment in your home. New systems have many benefits, including updated technology that can save you time and money.
Energy Efficiency
There’s no doubt about it; new AC units are more energy-efficient than old ones. Each year, energy-efficient technology improves, and AC units require less and less energy to cool your home.Â
Increased efficiency also means that your unit doesn’t have to work as hard all of the time to maintain your home’s temperature, which means less wear and tear and an overall longer unit lifespan.
Lower Energy Bills
You may not realize how much you pay each month to power your AC unit. Since your new AC system will be much more energy-efficient, it will use less energy, ultimately resulting in a decrease in your monthly energy bill.
Quiet Operation
Old AC units are notorious for being loud. Luckily, AC manufacturers have made improvements that allow for quieter operation. A new AC unit will bring peace and quiet to your home. No more noisy fans and loud cycling noises.
Improved Air Quality
Your AC unit not only cools your home but does the important job of filtering your air. Even if you are diligent in changing your filter, the filtering technology on old AC units is just not as advanced as that offered by newer machines.Â
When you upgrade your AC unit, you’ll have the added benefit of a new filter type which will improve the air quality throughout your home.
Convenience
One of the major benefits of AC replacement is the convenience that comes along with improved technology. Most modern units have lots of options for programming that allow you to set and forget. Some units even have remote control and movement sensing options that allow you to totally optimize your system.

Beth Carls2025-03-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We continue to be impressed by the quality of professionalism from the technicians at SALT. The service we received from James Chambers was professional, informative and friendly. We appreciate him putting on shoe covers before coming into our home. He explained everything he was going to do before he did it - and even showed us pictures. He was good to check back with us as he went through his routine. We received several options to improve our electrical system that he explained very well and the team followed up via email with this information including videos and photos.

Justin quickly got us all fixed up and it was a simple lesson to learn more about that particular outlet. Very helpful! Will helped out recently and was fantastic. He was super helpful and diagnosed the electrical issue quickly and the repair was quickly done 5 stars all around. william mccoy2025-03-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gio was Amari were outstanding. On time, very courteous, listened to my description of the issue and had corrective actions within 15 minutes. Complete customer satisfaction with Gio, Amari, SALT Co. Very thorough review of my system for any other issues and presented me with options for correction. Outstanding technicians in every way. Had a call back and John Aguilar correctly diagnosed my issue within 10 minutes. I would encourage every consumer to fully research any HVAC unit and controller that is less than 5 years old. Some have ventilators that override the AC. Again, my issue (literally) was completely, politely, courteously and professionally corrected. I cannot say enough positive things about SALT, their response times, accuracy, engagement and professional attitude. I will call on no other, these guys are the best. Thank you Dylan came out to look at our bathroom sink flow issues and replaced the aerators quickly and seamlessly. Again, very professional attitude, customer service amd support.
