If you're having problems and need to replace an old central AC system, now might be the time to do it. Consumer Reports found in a survey of more than 40,000 subscribers, some systems have been much better at keeping their cool than others, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars. old car ac unitsContractor Tim Mosher says it's important to take good care of a central air conditioning system. ac units using water"The preventative maintenance in the beginning of the season is better than having to have a serviceman come out during a heat wave," said Mosher. buy old ac unitsConsumer Reports says carefully choosing an air conditioning system can help you avoid service calls, too. Its latest product-reliability survey shows some central air systems have been significantly more repair-prone: Amana, Goodman, and York.

"In the past six years, close to one in five of these systems needed repairs. That's a lot," said Dan DiClerico with Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports' survey also shows how inconvenient repairs can be. Ten percent of those polled said they needed repeated repairs in the first year. Eighteen percent reported their system broke down completely. And 39 percent lost AC for at least a day. "About 30 percent who had problems had to pay $150 or more for the repair," said DiClerico. To prevent having to call a repairman, Consumer Reports says invest in a more reliable brand, including ones from American Standard, Rheem, or Trane. Plants and hedges should be at least two feet away from the air conditioning unit. Also, clean filters and grills monthly. And be sure to seal and insulate every duct. "Up to 30 to 40 percent of energy can escape through leaks when ducts aren't insulated," DiClerico said. Another energy saver is to use a programmable thermostat and set the temperature higher when you're out of the house.
