Otherwise, you might get stuck with a malfunctioning or broken AC on days when it’s too hot for comfort.

How to Know if You Need a New AC

Most of us don’t give our AC much thought until we actually need it. But especially since you don’t use it for months at a time during the winter, it’s advisable to give it a test run early on in the spring. Simply switch the appliance on for an hour or so and pay attention to the following:

• Does it cool the air temperature quickly? If it’s working properly, you’ll start to notice a drop in temperature after 10 to 15 minutes.
• Does it make a lot of noise? Clanging, squeaking or ticking can all indicate a variety of problems, from broken parts to a damaged coil.
• Is the air quality noticeably improved? A properly functioning AC will remove dust and other particles from the air, making the air smell fresher.
• Does the appliance leak? Drops forming at the bottom of the appliance signal that the line to the condenser drain is likely blocked or damaged.

If your AC doesn’t appear to be working properly, you might just need some repairs. But you might also be looking at a new appliance, especially if you’ve had your old one for more than 10 years.
