Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?

Every HVAC company has an incentive to sell you a new system. We would rather tell you the truth and earn your trust. Here is how to actually think about it.

The age rule

Most Orlando AC systems last 10 to 15 years given how hard they run here. Under 10 years, repair is usually the smart call. Over 15, replacement often wins. In between, it depends on the repair.

The 50 percent rule

If a single repair costs more than half the price of a new system, replacement usually makes more sense. A $400 capacitor on a 6-year-old unit? Fix it. A $2,500 compressor on a 14-year-old unit? Replace it.

The efficiency factor

A new high-efficiency system can cut cooling bills 20 to 40 percent. In Orlando, where the AC runs most of the year, that adds up fast and can offset part of the replacement cost over time.

The repeat-repair signal

If you have called for the same system three times in a year, you are renting reliability at a bad price. That pattern usually means replacement.

When you call us, we tell you honestly which side of the line you are on. Sometimes that means talking you out of a replacement you do not need. That is the point.
