Reputable Mishawaka HVAC Company
Deemed “The Princess City”, likely due to the fact that Mishawaka was a Potawatomi princess. It’s located east of the larger city of South Bend, and, therefore, is popular for residents to choose due to its proximity to the University of Notre Dame and multitude of parks and outdoor spaces such as Battel Park for families to spend time together in nature. The location of Mishawaka in northern Indiana means that summers are hot and winters are cold. Because of this, having both a furnace and an air conditioner is imperative. Bickel Heating & Cooling offers high-quality HVAC services in Mishawaka, IN, and the surrounding areas. Reach out to us by phone or online for a free estimate and to schedule an appointment.
When To Get AC Repair Vs. AC Replacement
There are some specific circumstances that indicate you should get your air conditioning system repaired and others that indicate you should get it replaced.
Repairing Current System:
- Inexpensive Repair: If you just need your capacitor replaced, your thermostat repaired, or your condensate drain cleared, that’s likely not to cost an arm and a leg and is worth the AC repair.
- System Is Otherwise Reliable: If, other than the malfunction you need fixed, your air conditioner generally runs smoothly, replacing it is likely unnecessary.
- Stable Energy Bills: If your monthly utility bills haven’t increased lately, that can indicate a system that’s operating efficiently and can continue to do so with the proper repair.
New AC Installation:
- Over 12-15 Years Old: That’s about the age when air conditioning systems tend to deteriorate. If you’re struggling with your air conditioner and it’s nearing that age, a replacement is the better option.
- High Repair Cost: Compare the cost of the repair to the cost of a replacement. If the repair cost is half or more of the replacement cost, you should opt to install a new air conditioning system.
- Frequent Breakdowns: Needing your air conditioner repaired multiple times in a couple of years can mean your system is losing efficiency that can’t be regained with repair services.
Benefits of AC Maintenance
You may wonder why you should invest in hiring a professional for AC tune ups. Some of the key benefits are detailed below.
Better Energy Efficiency
We’ll clean your coils, swap your filters, check to make sure you have the right amount of refrigerant and no leaks, and check any moving parts to ensure your system is operating efficiently. This will help it need less energy to operate on a daily basis.
Lower Likelihood of Costly Repairs
We’ll be able to notice signs that something is wrong with your air conditioner in the early stages before they spiral into more severe and, therefore, more expensive repairs.
Extended Lifespan
The better maintained your air conditioner is, the higher the likelihood of getting the most out of your system’s lifespan.
Improved Performance
Your air conditioner will operate more smoothly if it gets checked and serviced by an HVAC professional at least once a year.
