HVAC Repair vs. Replacement
When your HVAC systems need service, it may initially be unclear whether you should repair the unit or replace it. As a rule of thumb, if the needed repair costs approach half the cost of a new unit, replacement is probably a better choice.
Since HVAC units can last for 10 to 20 years depending on the system type, you should consider a replacement if your unit is over a decade old. And if repairs are needed often, it may be best to replace it rather than keep spending more on repairs.
