If you’re not sure whether you should repair or replace your current system, there are three categories that can help you decide:
Lifespan: Most HVAC equipment has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. As you approach that first threshold, each repair should compare to the cost of replacement. With good upkeep, your system might last to the maximum. Still, it’s a good idea to ask our heating and cooling company technicians to provide a professional opinion about your equipment’s estimated lifespan and the best investment for you.
Efficiency: Generally, manufacturers increase efficiency with each new model. The older your model gets, the worse its efficiency will be compared to the latest options, even if it’s working at peak output. Our HVAC heating and cooling service can show you how much you could save, or enjoy greater comfort, with a new, efficient system.
The unit’s overall condition may be the biggest factor in determining your best choice. A unit with great maintenance from our heating and air conditioning company might last years longer, especially if the repair isn’t major. By comparison, a unit with lapsed maintenance and several prior breakdowns is probably better to replace. We’re happy to help you compare prices and make a decision.
