Repair vs. Replacement: Making the Cost-Effective Choice
Choosing between repair and replacement is critical in Texas, where systems run at maximum capacity for long periods.
The 50% Rule
- If repair costs approach 50% of a new system, replacement is often smarter.
- High-dollar repairs on old units often yield diminishing returns.
Age of Equipment
- AC units typically last 10 to 15 years in coastal Texas.
- Significant repairs on units over 12 years old may warrant replacement.
Energy Efficiency Considerations
- Older units may use phased-out refrigerants like R-22.
- New SEER2 systems lower utility bills.
- Electrical panel upgrades improve safety, home value, and future appliance support.
Frequency of Breakdowns
- Multiple service calls in the past two years indicate unreliability.
- Frequent minor repairs can cost more annually than financing a new system.
