Summers in Bakersfield California are no joke, temperatures can quickly rise over 100 degrees.

So let's take a closer look at ways we can help with heating and cooling units.

Are you curious if it's time to replace that old A/C or cooler? If you're constantly dealing with central air issues, it's probably time to upgrade.

First, ask yourself some questions and evaluate your current A/C system.

Specifically, determine the age of your Air Conditioner. This shouldn't be the deciding factor, but Energy Star recommends if your unit is 15 years or older, you should start to think about replacing the entire machine.

When dealing with home cooling and heating systems, we want to be proactive. The last thing you want is your air unit to go out in the summer when it's 100 degrees.

Pro Tip Option: Replace the R-22

Another alternative to replacing your A/C is refilling the R-22. This cannot be done without a professional. Long gone are the days when homeowners could purchase R-22 on their own.

Consider that the R-22 in your air conditioner can cost you anywhere from $50 to $200 per pound, including the labor. In this case, you may be better off replacing the whole system.

This can all depend on the price you get for the coolant. Over the years, R-22 has ascended. Most manufacturers will stop the fabrication of units that require this type of coolant since the prices are incredibly high when consumers have to refill.

And don't overlook your utility bill.

Compare your past bills to your current account. The indicator here is obvious. If your invoice is noticeably higher than in the past years, that is a sign your air unit is out of date or needs servicing.

Similarly, if the temperature in your home is not dropping while the A/C is running, there's an issue.

At this point, you will want to have the A/C inspected by a professional.

Avoid these stumbling blocks when replacing central air units.

We all know a new A/C cost a pretty penny, but what we see time and time again is the mistakes homeowners make while replacing their old units.

Don't rush into the buying process. Take your time and do the research. We recommend speaking with another homeowner that has recently gone through the central air buying process.  

This is off subject, but some of the best advice I have ever received was to learn from other people's mistakes.

Here is a list of things you can do that will save you money while you transition to a new system:

• Be absolutely sure you have the correct unit size for your home. Too small, your unit will not put out the right amount of energy to make you comfortable. Too large, and you can have a much higher bill than necessary.
• Don't cheap out. Yes, a low price will get you ahead, but it may cost you in the long run. Shop for a competitive deal and don't decide on price alone.
• Avoid mickey mouse operations. Hire a contractor with confidence. Superior Roofing has relationships with trustworthy subcontractors to help you install a new A/C. Reach out to someone who can refer a true professional.
• If you're seriously interested in replacing your heating and cooling unit and don't want to come out of pocket...

Look into California GoGreen financing. GoGreen is a program to help homeowners with energy efficient upgrades. Program benefits include zero closing fees, low-interest rates, no home equity, and no prepayment penalties.

All things considered, if it's not broken, don't fix it. If you have a unit that is 20+ years old and is still making you feel comfortable with a reasonable utility bill, then just service every year.

If you have any questions about replacing your A/C, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We will be glad to offer our expertise. Superior Roofing believes in the consultative approach to business. Our aim is to educate and build relationships before anything else.
