Thermostat: To troubleshoot your air conditioner and determine if you need a replacement, the first step is to check your thermostat. If your thermostat is showing a blank screen, it may need batteries. If you’ve replaced the batteries and the display is still blank, remove the thermostat from the wall and check to make sure it’s getting power and that all wires are properly connected.

Breaker Panel: Check your break panel next and make sure no breakers have tripped. If everything looks normal, flip your central AC switch on and off to reset your connection.

Condenser: Check your condenser to make sure it’s getting power. If your thermostat screen is still blank, check your condenser outside and ensure a fuse isn’t tripped.

Determining when to replace your AC unit versus repairing it is a big decision North Texas HVAC is happy to help with. Our staff is known for operating with the utmost integrity, and we consider the following factors when determining repairability versus end of life for an AC unit:

Age: Generally speaking, the age of an air conditioner is between 10-20 years old. Considering North Texas’ hot and sometimes humid climate, your AC unit may or may not be functioning to an acceptable comfort level because it’s been operated at a maximum capacity for a certain amount of time for a certain number of years. If it’s more than 10 years old, it might be time for a replacement.

Costly Energy Bills: Overtime, AC unit’s wear down and lose power as they age. If your energy bills have gradually or suddenly gotten higher over the past few summers, your air conditioner is likely struggling to perform and might need to be replaced.

Refrigerant Leaks: A common sign of wear and tear is leaking refrigerant. This diagnosis often always leads to a domino-effect of damaging your compressor. Refrigerant can be very costly to continuously replace. Our educated technicians can help you determine the best path forward that meets your budget needs and keeps your family cool.
