If your cooling system has been giving you trouble, you might be wondering whether it’s time for a repair—or a full replacement. At Integrity Heating & Air Conditioning, we help homeowners in Westfield, Zionsville, and Sheridan make the best decision for their home and budget. Here are six signs it might be time for an upgrade.

 

1. Your AC is 12–15 years old
   Most air conditioners last about 12–15 years with regular maintenance. If your system is older and acting up, replacement may be the smarter investment.
2. Frequent breakdowns
   If you’ve already paid for multiple repairs in the last few years, it might be more cost-effective to replace the system than keep sinking money into an unreliable unit.
3. Rising energy bills
   Older systems lose efficiency over time. A newer, high-efficiency Lennox unit could lower your energy costs significantly while delivering better comfort.
4. Inconsistent temperatures or airflow
   Hot spots, weak airflow, or constant cycling mean your AC isn’t keeping up with your home’s cooling needs.
5. R-22 refrigerant system
   If your current system still uses R-22 (Freon), it’s time to consider an upgrade—this refrigerant has been phased out due to environmental concerns.
6. You’re planning to stay in your home
   If you’re putting down roots in Fishers or Carmel, a new, efficient cooling system is a long-term investment in comfort and home value.
7. We offer expert installation of Lennox systems and work with all home sizes and budgets. From helping you select the right unit to handling the install with care, we’re here to make the process smooth and stress-free.
