When your HVAC system starts acting up, you’re faced with an important decision: should you repair it or replace it altogether? We prioritize your comfort and budget. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.


Age of the System


Repair: If your system is under 10 years old and well-maintained, repairing it is usually more cost-effective.


Replace: For systems over 10-15 years old, replacement is often the better choice due to efficiency and reliability concerns.


Frequency and Cost of Repairs


Repair: Minor, infrequent repairs are manageable and typically worth it.


Replace: Frequent or costly repairs, especially those approaching 50% of a new system’s cost, signal it's time for a replacement.


Energy Efficiency


Repair: If your energy bills are stable, repairing your system can keep it running efficiently.


Replace: If bills are rising, a new, energy-efficient system could save you money in the long run.


Performance and Comfort


Repair: If your system maintains consistent temperatures and operates quietly, repair is likely sufficient.


Replace: If your system struggles with temperature consistency or noise, consider upgrading.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. How old is my system?

2. How often am I repairing it?

3. Are my energy bills increasing?

4. Is my home comfortable?
