Replace A/C Unit just for Efficiency

Hello BP community.

I have 3 rental properties in the same boat. They all have older A/C units. I would estimate over 15 years old. I am paying utilities on all my properties because I generally do short term rentals.

My question is do you suggest waiting till they die completely, getting them serviced and "touched up" by a company or to actually start replacing them one at a time (or all three if I get a deal)

Thanks for any input!

Replied

Find out the cost to replace them (I'm guessing you are paying for the electricity) and if the electricity provider/city has any rebates for replacing your units.
