Signs It's Time for a New AC Unit in Troy
Your air conditioner does more than just cool your home. It also moves air and manages humidity, helping to mitigate mold and mildew growth. As it ages, your system becomes less efficient and ramps up your energy bill as it tries to meet your home’s cooling demands.
Here are some other signs that it might be time for a new AC unit.
1. Poor cooling, weak airflow
Weak airflow or warm air are sure signs your AC needs repair. This could indicate a malfunctioning blower motor, blocked ducts, a clogged air filter, or an undersized unit.
2. New loud noises
It’s normal for your AC unit to make some noise, especially as it cycles on. However, new and loud noises can spell disaster if left unchecked. Grinding, screeching, rattling, banging, hissing, and whistling are common noises for an AC unit in need of repair.
3. Foul odors
Bad smells coming from the unit or the vents indicate that your AC needs an inspection. A burning rubber smell is common with a misaligned or slipping fan belt. Something in your vents may also be causing the odor.
4. Unexplained increased energy bills
As your AC ages, it becomes less efficient and often overworks to compensate for damaged or faulty components, like a clogged air filter.
5. Frequent repairs
If your system is over 10 years old and regularly requires repairs, it may be time for an AC replacement. Newer models offer improved energy efficiency and long-term savings in the form of decreased energy costs. When you replace your air conditioner, you may be eligible for AC rebates.
6. Pooling water
Pooling water in and around your unit indicates a frozen condenser, which can happen with a clogged air filter or the broken blower fan. Pooling water in the drain pan usually indicates a clogged drain pipe.
7. Short cycling
Short cycling happens when the electrical components overload or overheat, shutting off the system’s power. Your system short cycles when it overcompensates for faulty components or an electrical issue like frayed wires.

When you schedule a replacement or installation with Hoover, the first thing we do is inspect your old system and assess your needs. We consider your home’s square footage, plot location, shade trees, south-facing windows, insulation, and ventilation before making any recommendations. Your new unit should be able to keep up with your cooling demands without using excess energy.
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is the cooling output divided by the energy it uses. The current minimum SEER in Michigan is 13 for all air conditioners. However, to qualify for an ENERGY STAR rebate with a central air installation, the minimum is 14 SEER. The higher the SEER rating, the more long-term energy savings you’ll get. For example, by moving from an eight SEER rating to a 14 SEER rating, you can reduce your energy use by 35%.
