Homeowners rely on their HVAC systems throughout the year to stay comfortable. If a problem pops up, you may wonder whether to schedule repairs or put the money toward a new device. The guide below covers a few of the factors to consider when determining the best solution for the malfunction.

How Can You Decide Between HVAC Repairs & Replacement?

Air conditioners and heat pumps typically last between 10 and 12 years, while furnaces last up to 20 years. If your HVAC system is around the end of its life span, issues could recur ever after repairs. Replacing the unit provides a more cost-effective solution.

On the other hand, repairs may be the right choice if your system is newer or doesn’t need significant work. Ask your HVAC contractor for an estimate on repairs. If service is much more affordable than a new unit and your equipment isn’t at the end of its life span, repairs may be more convenient.

Are There Perks That Come With Replacement? 

HVACReplacing your system could help you save money. Many homeowners can take advantage of tax incentives when they have energy-efficient systems installed.

New technology reduces energy consumption. Replacing an air conditioner that is only 10 years old could save you as much as 40% on cooling costs. Upgraded models are also designed with sound barriers and efficient fan blades, reducing noise levels.
