The Signs Your AC Needs a Repair
We understand that many people are hesitant to request repairs, especially when their system is still somewhat functional. It's tempting to brush aside intermittent issues and make do with a less comfortable home. However, the earlier a problem is addressed, the simpler and less costly it is to solve.
With that in mind, we recommend you call for a repair service if you notice the following:
- The air coming from your AC vents is warm, weak, or inconsistent
- Your air conditioner is struggling to keep humidity levels in check
- There are odd noises or smells coming from your AC system
- Your monthly energy bills are going through the roof
- There's moisture or ice around your AC equipment
- Your system is tripping breakers or cycling repeatedly
Should I Repair or Replace My AC?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioner depends on a few key factors.
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
- Age of the AC unit: If your AC is 10-15 years old or older, it might be time to replace it. Newer models are more energy-efficient and can save you money in the long run.
- Cost of repairs: A good rule of thumb is the 50% rule: If the cost of repairs is more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually the better option.
- Energy efficiency: Older units tend to be less efficient, leading to higher energy bills. If your AC has a low SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, upgrading to a more efficient model could save you money over time.
- Frequency of repairs: If you’re constantly calling for repairs, it’s a sign that the unit is nearing the end of its life. Frequent breakdowns can add up and make replacement a smarter choice.
- Performance issues: If your AC struggles to cool your home, runs inefficiently, or causes uneven temperatures, it might be time to replace it.
- Refrigerant type: Older units may use R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out and can be expensive to replace. Newer units use more eco-friendly refrigerants.
If you’re still unsure, consider consulting one of our professionals for an assessment. They can provide a detailed cost-benefit analysis to help you make the best decision.

-
What is the life expectancy of my unit?Dependable Trane products are among the longest lasting heating and cooling products available. For your specific equipment, there are many variables that affect life expectancy, including, of course, the regularity of routine maintenance.
-
What does my warranty cover?Under the standard factory warranty, Trane covers parts that fail during the warranty period due to defect in the part. The warranty does not cover labor. A warranty certificate was included with your homeowner information packet, and is specific to the model numbers, serial numbers and installation dates of your products. All Trane equipment that we install is registered with Trane Corporation to ensure your 10 year parts warranty. If you cannot find your warranty certificate, Climate Control Heating & Air will also be able to provide you with that information. With a Climate Control Heating & Air Total Comfort Plan, you'll have a ten year parts and labor warranty on your Trane equipment.
-
Which Trane equipment will best fit my home?There are many factors that affect the sizing and specifications of your system, including square footage, insulation, window surface and configuration, geographic location of your home, duct sizing and arrangement, and many others. Climate Control Heating & Air can perform an in-home load analysis to determine which equipment combinations will perfectly suit your home and your family's needs. Depending upon the construction of your home, one (1) ton of air conditioning can cool anywhere from 300 to 800 square feet of home. The only way to ensure the size of the system you purchase will be large enough to heat or cool your home, but not any larger than you need, is to have your home's individual heating and cooling needs evaluated by a licensed professional.
