REPAIR OR REPLACE? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
Replace your system when:
It needs frequent repairs. It’s suffering from poor performance. Your energy costs rise.
Replace your air conditioner if:
It’s over 10 years old. Is rated 10 SEER or less.
Replace your furnace if:
It’s over 15 years old. Is rated 80% AFUE or less.
Replace your heat pump if:
It’s over 10 years old. Is rated 10 SEER or less | 8 HSPF or less.
FINANCIAL TIP: FOLLOW THE $5,000 RULE Take the age of the equipment and multiply that by the estimated repair cost. If the number is more than $5,000, then you should consider replacing your unit.
