If your AC unit hasn’t been working well this summer no matter what repairs you have performed on it, you may have reached a point that you are better off replacing your older system with a new one. This can leave homeowners asking if they need to replace both the indoor and outdoor units at the same time. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning is here to talk about why it is always best to replace both of these units at the same time for optimal performance.

Why You Should Replace Both Inside & Outside AC Units at the Same Time

There are several reasons why it makes the most sense to replace both your indoor and your outdoor AC units at the same time. If you have an outdoor unit that isn’t working well, it may be tempting to simply replace it and move on, but the issue is more complex than that. Here are the top reasons why you need to consider replacing both rather than just one.
– Different Refrigerant: Refrigerant is one of the biggest components of your AC system that must be there to cool your home down. Refrigerant has changed several times through the years, and just recently, it has changed again. These changes are made in an effort to find more environmentally friendly cooling options. Rather than using R22 refrigerant that has been used in the past, R410A is now used in new AC units. Both of your units need to use the same type of refrigerant.
– AC System Compatibility: This one goes hand in hand with the first item on the list. The indoor and outdoor units are made to work together. They are built to be compatible for each other. When you replace one and not the other, you aren’t going to get the cooling results you are looking for. Incompatible units will most certainly lead to higher electricity bills.
– AC Energy Efficiency: Newer AC units are built to be more efficient than your older units. When you replace one and not the other, you aren’t taking advantage of that efficiency like you could be.
– Lower AC Installation Cost: It may seem more cost efficient to only replace the unit that is failing, but you will more than likely end up replacing them both before long. When you replace both units at the same time, you get a better deal. This is just one more way that it is more cost efficient to replace them both than just one at a time.
