Signs It's Time for a New AC in DeLand, FL
Florida heat is hard on aging systems. These are the signs DeLand homeowners miss until the unit fails completely — and what each one means.
System over 12–15 years old
Efficiency drops sharply after year 10. If yours is pushing 15, parts are getting hard to source and the next repair may cost more than the unit is worth.
Repair quotes over half the replacement cost
The 50% rule: if fixing it costs more than half a comparable new unit, replacement almost always makes more financial sense long-term.
Energy bills climbing year over year
A system losing efficiency works harder to reach setpoint. If your bills are rising without any usage change, the unit is telling you something.
Inconsistent temps from room to room
Poor airflow distribution and an undersized or oversized unit both cause uneven cooling — a sizing issue no amount of repairs will fix.
R-22 refrigerant system
R-22 was phased out in 2020. Recharging it is expensive and supply is shrinking. Running a system that needs R-22 is a shrinking option.
Running constantly without reaching setpoint
If your system never shuts off during summer, it's either undersized for the load or too degraded to keep up.
