7 Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner Instead of Repairing It

Age

Air conditioners in our climate run more hours than almost anywhere in the country. Twelve to fifteen years is a full life. Past that, every repair is a bet on borrowed time.

R-22 refrigerant

If your system uses R-22 (Freon), a recharge now costs several times what it did a few years ago, and any leak repair on an old system is money spent on a unit that is already living on borrowed time.

Compressor failure

On a unit over ten years old and out of warranty, a compressor replacement often costs more than half of a new system. We price both side by side.

Rising bills, repeat repairs, uneven cooling and humidity

A new 16 SEER2 system can cut cooling costs by a third compared with a 10 SEER unit. If you have paid for two or more repairs in the last two years, the math has already turned.
