That’s a question that’s much easier to pose than answer, and yet it’s one we get asked all the time. And how do we advise people? The answer is a great big “It depends!” That’s not a dodge, merely our way of pointing out that no two sets of circumstances are ever the same.
So, to help you figure out your best move at present, here are a handful of things to keep in mind.
Reasons to Repair Your AC System
- Your system is 10 years old or newer
- The repair cost has been estimated at $1,000 or less
- It turns out the problem is with your thermostat or ductwork, and not the system itself
- You’re planning to move in the next year or two
- Your system does not have a history of repair problems
Reasons to Replace Your AC System
- Your system is over 10 years old
- The estimated repair cost is over $1,500
- You have no immediate plans to move
- The repair issue is of a recurring nature
- Your system’s refrigerant is Freon, which will no longer be available even for older system recharging starting in 2020
