When you’re contemplating replacing your A/C unit, consider these numerical stats below to help you decide:

10-15: The average lifespan (in years) of an A/C unit.

44: The average percentage of your utility costs from cooling and heating; if you’re paying more than that, you may want to consider a replacement.

5: The score on the Home Energy Yardstick for average energy usage; if your home’s score is below 5, you’re using more energy than your neighbors.

20: The average percentage of the money you’ll save if you switch to a new unit.

8: The average energy you’ll save if you upgrade to an ENERGY STAR unit.

(R)22: The refrigerant used to cool older A/C units; it’s being phased out, and its environmentally friendly replacement is significantly more expensive when used with older units.

(R)410(A): The refrigerant being used in new units.

13: The minimum seasonal energy efficiency rating for new A/C units. If your unit’s rating is below 13, it’s not running efficiently, which means higher utility bills.

Pro tip: Any new A/C unit guarantees being more energy efficient and meeting all environmental regulations. And over time, it will lower the cost of your utility bills.
