Generally, if your HVAC system is less than 10 years old and repair costs are under 50% of replacement cost, repair is usually the better choice. However, if your system is over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or has significantly higher energy bills, replacement often makes more financial sense.
Signs that point toward replacement include major component failures like compressor or heat exchanger problems, systems that can’t maintain comfortable temperatures, and units that require multiple repairs each year. We’ll always give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement offers better long-term value.
In Sloughhouse’s demanding climate, older systems work harder and wear out faster than in more moderate areas. We evaluate each situation individually and explain your options clearly, so you can make the decision that’s right for your home and budget.
