Several factors help determine whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. If your system is over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement often becomes more cost-effective, especially with California’s energy rebates for high-efficiency equipment.
Systems that can’t maintain consistent temperatures, produce unusual noises, or cause dramatic increases in energy bills often need major repairs that approach replacement costs. Additionally, if your current system doesn’t meet California’s current efficiency standards, upgrading during a major repair can provide long-term savings.
We provide honest assessments that include repair costs versus replacement costs, potential energy savings, and available rebates or financing options. Our recommendation depends on your system’s condition, your home’s specific needs, and your budget. We’ll never pressure you toward the more expensive option—our job is to give you the information needed to make the best decision for your situation.
