Determining whether you should repair or replace your HVAC system can be tricky. As a good rule of thumb, there are three criteria that will determine whether repair or replacement is preferable or necessary: your HVAC system’s age; its safety (including factors such as fire or carbon monoxide leak risks); and its efficiency.
If your system is more than 10 years old and isn’t working in a way that is safe or efficient, it’s likely better and more cost effective to replace it. Using EcoWatch’s HVAC Helpful Tips, can help you stay informed as a sustainable consumer.
