When to Repair vs. Replace Your AC Unit
The repair-vs-replace decision depends on several factors:
Consider Replacement If:
- Your unit is 10+ years old
- Repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost
- You're facing frequent breakdowns
- Your system uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out)
- Energy bills keep climbing
Repair May Make Sense If:
- Unit is under 8 years old
- Issue is a single, inexpensive component
- System has been well-maintained
