Repair or replace


It’s not easy to know whether you should repair or replace your home’s heating and cooling system, especially if you’re facing an emergency situation. While there’s no hard-and-fast rule, there are some important considerations to keep in mind as you make your decision.

Age of your system
Air conditioners last an average of 10 to 12 years, while furnaces have a life span of around 15 to 20 years. If your equipment is within those ranges, expect more repairs in the near future.

Outdated technology
Technology changes all the time. This is as true for your heating and cooling system as it is for your phone. By replacing aging equipment, you’ll be able to take advantage of smart new features and increased efficiencies that can save you money on your utility bills.

Cost of repairs
As a good rule of thumb, we recommends replacing a product when repairs exceed 50% of the cost of a new one.

It is important to choose the unit of air conditioner with cooling capacity that can handle the room where you desired to place it. A small unit is adequate to cool a room. On the other hand, an oversized air conditioner will cycle on and off, increase electric bills, waste energy, strain the unit, and do a poor job of removing excess humidity from the air inside the room.
