Let’s be honest, when it comes to your air conditioner, most homeowners just want it to work when it’s hot, and not break the bank while doing it. But when something does go wrong, the floodgates of questions open: “Do I need a tune-up?” “Is it time for a new one?” “Why is it making that weird noise?”
At C&C Air Conditioning, Heating, Plumbing & Electric, we’ve heard it all and we’re here to help. Below are some of the most common AC questions we get from New Jersey homeowners followed up the answers.
“Do I really need an AC tune-up every year?”
We get it. It sounds like just one more thing on your already to-do list. But yes! An annual AC tune-up is necessary. It keeps things running efficiently, helps us catch small problems before they turn into major breakdowns, and can even help extend the life of your system. Plus, who doesn’t want lower energy bills?
“My AC isn’t cooling well. Do I need a repair or a replacement?”
With this question, it really depends. If your system is under 10 years old and has been maintained regularly, a repair might do the trick. But if you’re dealing with frequent breakdowns and high energy bills, it might be time to consider a replacement.
“Will a new AC system really save me money?”
Yes! While replacing your AC isn’t exactly a fun expense, today’s energy-efficient models are designed to run cooler and smarter. That means lower energy bills, fewer repairs, and more consistent comfort.
Bonus? Many homeowners qualify for rebates and incentives that help offset the cost. We’re happy to walk you through those options and help you make the smartest investment for your home.
“How do I know if my AC issue is an emergency?”
If your system completely stops working on a 90-degree day, that’s definitely an emergency. If it’s making a strange grinding noise, leaking refrigerant, or blowing warm air, those are also red flags that need quick attention.
