Consider if the Repairs Will Last
If our expertly trained staff comes out to inspect your system and we inform you that a repair is possible and will likely hold up for many years, then it probably makes the most sense to invest in repairs. This is particularly true if your air conditioner has had no major problems before this time, even if it’s an aging system. It may just be that you have a couple worn down parts that need replacing.
However, it is important that you consider the age and state of your system. If you don’t have preventive AC maintenance done at least once a year, if repairs will cost you more than have of what the system is worth, and/or if your system is over 10 years old, then replacement may be a more cost-effective solution for you.
Why Age Is a Problem
An air conditioning system that’s over a decade old is likely close to replacement age. Even with a brand new part, an aging system can only work so effectively anymore. AC system components that don’t match the system they are installed in will have trouble performing as they should, and could potentially cause rapid wear and tear.
Are you still unsure as to what the best option for you and your AC system is? That’s okay, that’s what we are here for!
