Signs You Need a New Air Conditioning System
You can expect your air conditioner to last up to 12 years with regular maintenance, but it will eventually experience wear and will need occasional repairs over time. ACs will typically show signs that it needs a repair or replacement.
If you notice any of these issues, or if you have an aging system, we recommend scheduling an HVAC service as soon as possible:
- Your AC system is over 12 years old.
- The warranty has expired.
- You notice weakened airflow or hot air circulating.
- It needs frequent and costly repairs.
- It’s unresponsive to thermostat controls.
- There are odd noises/odors (screeching, grinding, banging, or moldy, mildewy, burning odors).
- It’s leaking refrigerant (different than normal condensation).
- You notice increased utility and energy bills.
- You notice consistent buildup of moisture and humidity.
- Your home has poor indoor air quality.
AC Repair vs. Replacement
An air conditioning or cooling system approaching 12 years old with significant problems may not be worth further investment with continued repairs, especially considering that a new HVAC system will be much more efficient and reliable.
If your AC or cooling system is less than 10 years old and none of the problems are too costly or severe, HVAC repairs may be your most cost-effective option.
HVAC repairs may be best if:
-
The system is under 10 years old.
-
The issues are minor and the repair costs are manageable.
-
Its energy efficiency is still reasonable.
-
The system has had regular maintenance.
HVAC replacement may be the smarter choice if:
-
The unit is 12 years or older.
-
Repairs are becoming frequent or expensive.
-
Its performance has noticeably declined.
-
Your energy bills have increased without other explanation.
You can also help extend the life of your AC by scheduling routine maintenance by a certified and licensed professional like our technicians at Pipe Wrench Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. We can perform annual system checks to address small issues before they become expensive repairs.
As a leading HVAC company in the Knoxville area, Pipe Wrench Plumbing, Heating & Cooling can inspect your AC and offer transparent advice and guidance about your repair and replacement options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install a new air conditioner?
It depends on the complexity of the unit, required site preparation, difficulty removing an existing AC, weather, and other factors. Usually, completing the installation and properly calibrating the unit takes anywhere from half a day to a full day.
Should I purchase an air conditioner with a high SEER rating?
The higher the SEER rating, the greater the energy efficiency. While it costs more to purchase a unit with a high SEER rating, the long-term savings add up quickly and make it a cost-effective investment.
What is the Manual J calculation?
We use this formula to properly size the air conditioner required for your home. It considers many factors, including our region, relative humidity, home facing, insulation values, home size, number of occupants, ceiling height, surrounding foliage, and more.
This allows us to accurately determine the cooling capacity required for a consistent climate in the home.
Do I need to replace my air conditioner after home renovations?
If you’ve added new rooms or square footage to your house, then it’s quite probable that your current air conditioner is now too small for your home.
What happens to my old air conditioner?
We carefully recycle your old air conditioner to ensure that components are appropriately disposed of in an eco-friendly manner that complies with all applicable safety codes and standards.
Will upgrading my air conditioner reduce my utility bills?
Yes, upgrading your air conditioner with a new, more energy-efficient system can significantly reduce energy usage and utility bills. It’s common for homeowners to enjoy reductions of 10% or more after the installation of a new central AC or ductless mini-split with a high SEER rating.
