We’ll help you make the decision that’s best for you.

Everyone wants to go as long as possible before having to replace their heating or cooling system. But, eventually, the time comes when it no longer makes sense to keep repairing an aging system. The trick is knowing if that time has come or not.

This graph gives you a snapshot of a general timeline based on cost of repairs.

At some point, repairs are no longer cost-effective. You’d be better off investing in a new AC or heating system.

More facts and figures to consider:

  • The average unit lasts about 10–15 years.
  • You could spend $600 or so on a temporary fix or invest that money in a new system.
  • The relative cost of repairing or replacing the parts that commonly breakdown in aging units are:
    • Capacitor – $
    • Fan motor – $$
    • Gas valve – $$$
    • Compressor – $$$$

We’re here to help you decide if you’ve reached that point.
