AC System Repair

To repair or replace your HVAC system … that is the question. Fortunately, the final decision may not be a difficult one if you take these factors into consideration.

  • Newer System: If your system is under 10 years old, it’s often wise to repair it.
  • Low repair cost: An inexpensive repair may make more sense than replacing the entire system.
  • Moving: When moving, repairs might be the better option. We recommend checking with your realtor.
  • Maintenance: If your system is neither old nor new, ongoing maintenance may help prolong the unit’s life so that immediate replacement is not necessary.
