Should I Repair or Replace My AC?
When your air conditioner breaks down, it’s only natural to want to save money by repairing it over putting in a whole new unit. However, sometimes getting a new system is better for your wallet. Here’s how to know.
- Frequency of Repairs - If you’re repairing your AC system more frequently, you’re better off putting that money towards a new unit.
- Repair Cost - If the repairs of your unit are 50% or more than the cost of a new unit, you’re better off getting an air conditioner replacement.
- High Energy Bills - Older air conditioners are less efficient than newer models and cost you more to operate. Getting a new, high efficiency system saves you money month over month.
