When our Louisville clients have a major ac repair, we are often asked if they should replace the HVAC system or simply repair the air conditioner.

Two factors influence the decision the most: age of your HVAC system and cost of the repair.

If it’s great than ten years old and you have a major repair (compressor, condenser fan motor, evaporator coil), you should seriously consider a new heating and cooling system. An HVAC system of that age is not nearly as efficient as today’s system. Plus, a new air conditioning system has a 10-year parts warranty standard with 10-year labor warranties available.

If you’re on the fence regarding a new system, here are some things to consider. First, your old system is considerably less efficient than a new system. So, your energy consumption is higher the longer you wait. Second, air conditioners and furnaces increase in price roughly 3% each year. You’ll pay more for that new system the longer that you wait. Combine those two, and you can see why waiting to purchase a new HVAC system may not be the best choice.

If your HVAC system is under 10 years, then repairing it may be your better choice. We offer a two-year guarantee on all of our repairs. Plus, we can show you ways to save money on future repairs through our service agreement program.
