For simple AC repair calls the cost averages around $300. More extensive air conditioner repairs can cost anywhere from $500 up to $2000. If you’re facing a large repair quote, you may want to consider getting a replacement unit instead.
The quickest way to tell if it would be more cost-effective to replace your AC is to multiply the repair estimate by the age of your system. If the total is less than $5000, choose to repair your AC; if the total is higher than $5000, go ahead and install a new air conditioner.
