AC Repair vs. Replacement: How to Know When It’s Time
Alright, let’s talk about your AC like adults. It’s been working hard. But at some point, hard turns into expensive.
Here’s the simple list to figure out if you should repair it or finally move on.
1. You keep fixing it
If this isn’t the first repair, and it probably isn’t, that’s your sign. One fix is normal. A pattern means you’re throwing money at a system that’s running out of road.
2. Your energy bill keeps climbing
Older systems have to work way harder to do the same job. When that happens, your power usage goes up and your patience goes down.
3. It’s loud or doing weird stuff
Rattling, buzzing, grinding. Those sounds don’t show up for no reason. They usually mean parts are wearing out and more repairs are coming.
4. Your house can’t stay one temperature
If one room is freezing and the next feels like July, something ain’t right. That’s a classic sign the system is struggling to keep up.
5. It’s over 10 to 12 years old
In Texas heat, that’s old. Even a small repair on a system that age can turn into a bigger one fast.
6. It keeps needing refrigerant
That means there’s a leak. Topping it off over and over won’t fix the actual problem, friendo.
Here’s the dealio. If it’s a newer system and the fix is simple, a repair makes sense. If it’s older and breaking down often, replacement usually saves you more money in the long run.
We’ll tell you straight either way. No fuss. No upsell. Just what actually makes sense for your house and your budget.
Because sweating through summer over a dying AC ain’t the move.
