They may still fall short, all while costing you more money.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequent repairs:<\/strong> If you call for repairs more often than usual, replacing your AC is likely more cost-effective.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Costly repairs: <\/strong>You should invest money into a new unit if you have a bad compressor. A good rule of thumb is to opt for replacement if the repair costs more than 50% of the unit\u2019s value.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inadequate cooling:<\/strong> If some rooms are too hot or cold, your air conditioner may be undersized. You need a properly sized unit to adequately and affordably cool your home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do you recognize any of these signs?
