If your AC unit is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new system, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re facing repeated breakdowns, significantly higher energy bills, or the system can’t keep your home comfortable even when running constantly, replacement might be more cost-effective. In Adkins’ climate, AC systems work harder than in milder areas, which can shorten their lifespan. If your system is over 12 years old and needs a major repair like a compressor replacement, investing in a new, more efficient system often saves money long-term through lower energy costs and fewer repair calls. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your system’s condition and help you understand the real costs of repair versus replacement. Our goal is to help you make the decision that makes the most financial sense for your situation, not to sell you the most expensive option.
