<v Narrator>Knowing when to replace your cooling system</v>

3
00:00:03.780 --> 00:00:06.270
isn't always obvious, but understanding what signs

4
00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:08.823
to look for can make it a little easier.

5
00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:12.450
A noisy cooling system isn't just annoying,

6
00:00:12.450 --> 00:00:15.210
it can be the result of an undersized duct system

7
00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:17.160
or a problem with the blower motor.

8
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.383
Either way, you should have it checked out.

9
00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:22.980
Your system should cool your home evenly.

10
00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.620
Uneven cooling could be because of leaky ducts,

11
00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:28.773
poorly designed duct work, or system performance issues.

12
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.230
Sometimes it's a good sign

13
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:32.880
to have your air conditioner running,

14
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.070
but if it's running almost all the time,

15
00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:37.170
that could be a sign of refrigerant leakage

16
00:00:37.170 --> 00:00:38.553
or poor operation.

17
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:41.940
Frequent repairs can also be a sign

18
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:43.530
that you're ready for a new system.

19
00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:45.870
Chances are, the more wear and tear the system

20
00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:48.843
continues to take, the more repairs are on the way.

21
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.230
Air conditioners are designed to not just cool,

22
00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:54.240
but also dehumidify the air.

23
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.270
If your home is feeling humid, it may mean poor operation

24
00:00:57.270 --> 00:01:00.030
or leaky duct work could be the cause.

25
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:01.830
If you've noticed any of these signs,

26
00:01:01.830 --> 00:01:05.126
it might be time to consider replacing your cooling system.

27
00:01:05.126 --> 00:01:08.293
