Your HVAC system works hard year-round, and can still break down despite your best maintenance efforts. Whether it is time for HVAC repair or replacement depends on a number of factors designed to keep your home comfortable and your energy bills reasonable. Review these factors to make a decision that benefits your wallet and reduces your carbon footprint.

When to Repair

HVAC repair is recommended when your system is only a few years old; any system with fewer than 11 years of service generally does not require replacing. Repairing your HVAC system is also strongly recommended if the parts and or labor are under the manufacturer’s warranty, as you can get the system fixed for little to no cost. Should you still be unable to decide a course of action, simply calculate the cost of the repairs in comparison to buying and installing a new system. If they’re less than 25% of the replacement price, opt for them.  

When to Replace

Upgrading to a new, energy-efficient system saves you considerable money and may come with tax credits, rebates, and other incentives that reduce your total costs. The consistency and reliability of a new system is also something to think about, particularly if your current unit has not performed well in the last year or more.
