Signs your aircon is due for replacement

Your aircon is older than 10 years

Most aircons have a lifespan of 10-15 years, depending on if you choose a high-quality brand like Daikin Aircons. If your air conditioner is nearing or surpassing this age, chances are its efficiency, cooling power, and reliability are decreasing. Frequent breakdowns, longer cooling times, and skyrocketing energy bills are telltale signs that retirement is near.

Technology has also advanced dramatically over the past years that it might be worthwhile to even look at a quicker aircon replacement. The market has shifted to inverter aircons and a new R32 refrigerant.

Your aircon is making noise

Excessive noise is a symptom of worn-out components and compromised efficiency. Replacing your current aircon unit and upgrading to a premium air conditioner with advanced noise reduction technology will bring blissful peace back to your home. For example, the Daikin Perfera has a sound pressure level of only 19dBa which is as quiet as whispering.

Your energy bill keeps on increasing

Inefficient aircons consume a lot of energy, which impacts your energy bill at the end of the month. As previously mentioned, recent technology has advanced a lot. Newer air conditioners come with amazing energy-saving, translating to lower bills and a lighter carbon footprint.

Is your aircon not cooling anymore as it should?

Is your aircon struggling to keep you cool even on moderate days? Reduced cooling capacity can be due to worn-out compressors, clogged filters, or refrigerant leaks. Investing in a premium aircon with superior cooling power and advanced technology guarantees consistent, refreshing comfort.

Is your air conditioner future-proof?

Are you able to monitor your aircon energy consumption from anywhere in the world? Modern premium aircons come equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, air purification systems, and adjustable humidity controls, turning your aircon into a multifunctional comfort and health hub.
