When to Replace your AC system

As a general guideline, if your air conditioner is over 10 years old, it may be time to start contemplating replacement. Yet, with regular maintenance, your system may endure beyond that timeframe. However, certain indicators suggest that your unit is deteriorating and may necessitate replacement with a new air conditioner.

  • Insufficient airflow

  • Inadequate cooling

  • Unusual noises

  • Rising energy bills

  • Frequent breakdowns

If you observe any of these signs, it's advisable to contact a professional AC replacement company, such as Blue Oak Heating & Air Conditioning, to inspect your system and propose a replacement solution.

What Equipment Am I Actually Buying with an AC Replacement?

Unless you're an expert in air conditioning, you probably aren't acquainted with all the components and terminology involved. If you feel lost when your HVAC contractor discusses technical terms, don't fret! We'll ensure to explain every detail until you feel confident.

During an air conditioner installation, you might need to acquire individual components or have all the necessary parts included in your project. Therefore, it's crucial to comprehend every aspect of the air conditioning system. Here are the main components and terms you should be aware of:

Evaporator Coil (also known as the evaporator or indoor coil) – The indoor component of your air conditioning system is referred to as the evaporator coil. In most Sonoma County homes, the evaporator coil is located adjacent to a furnace. Alternatively, if there's no furnace, it will be housed within an equipment piece called an air handler. The evaporator coil serves as the passage for very cold refrigerant. Additionally, it contains an expansion valve, which regulates the coil's temperature to ensure optimal cooling.

Condensing Unit (also known as a condenser, outdoor unit, or simply air conditioner) – The condensing unit is the large metal enclosure situated outside your residence. This unit is responsible for increasing pressure within the system and aiding in refrigerant cooling. It comprises several components, including a coil, a fan, and a compressor. The coil and fan work in tandem to cool the refrigerant, while the compressor elevates pressure levels within the system.

Other Components in an Air Conditioning System – While condenser units and evaporator coils are vital components of your air conditioning system, it's important not to overlook these other critical parts:

  • Piping for refrigerant that facilitates the flow of refrigerant between the condensing unit and evaporator coil.

  • Ductwork, which serves as the conduit for distributing air throughout your home.

  • Blower (or indoor fan), which aids in airflow through the ductwork. Typically, the indoor fan is housed within a furnace or an air handler.

  • Thermostat, which transmits signals to turn the condensing unit and blower on or off as needed.
