Repair or replace?
Is It Better to Repair or Replace an Old Air Conditioner?
If your AC is over 10 years old and frequently needs repairs, replacing it may be a better investment. Newer systems offer better efficiency and long-term savings.
Factors to Consider When Deciding
The choice to repair or replace depends on the system’s age, efficiency, and repair costs.

When to Repair vs. Replace
- Repair: If your AC is under 10 years old and the repair cost is low.
- Replace: If repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit.
- Repair: If your AC still efficiently cools your home.
- Replace: If your energy bills are rising due to an inefficient system.
Long-Term Benefits of a New AC
A new AC can lower energy bills, provide more consistent cooling, and reduce maintenance costs.
