If you’ve been told by a technician that you need to replace both of your A/C units, you’re probably wondering if it’s possible to just replace the outside A/C and still use your current indoor unit to save money.
Here’s our recommendation: You should replace both the outdoor and indoor units together for the following reasons:
- Old indoor units are incompatible with new outdoor units
- Mismatched indoor and outdoor units lead to serious problems
- Replacing only one unit can void the manufacturer warranty
In this blog, we’ll go into more detail about each of those reasons. We’ll also share one exception when you may be able to replace just the outdoor unit.
