Does your Air Conditioner Need to be Repaired or Replaced?

7/31/2018

16 Comments

 
Picture
Summer's here which means it's time to think about whether your air conditioner is in good shape. Would some repairs bring it back to life or should you upgrade it completely?

Age

Repair 
Depending on other important factors, a unit that’s less than 10 years old will likely benefit from repairs.

Replace
Older units are less efficient and have higher repair costs, so if your system is over 10 years old, you may benefit from a replacement.

Problems

Repair 
If the repair is minor like a worn capacitor, a clogged drain line, or a small electrical problem, it’s worth repairing.

Replace 
If your blower motor, compressor, or condenser coils fail, it may be more beneficial to replace your unit.

Repair Costs

Repair 
If repairs will be less than 50% of the cost of a new unit, they may still be worth considering.

Replace
If repair costs are more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, you may want to upgrade to a newer, more energy efficient model.

Efficiency

Repair
If your unit has a SEER rating greater than 13, it’s still probably efficient and may be worth repairing.

Replace
If your unit has a SEER rating below 13, you may want to invest in a higher rated unit which will help reduce cooling costs.

Repair Frequency

Repair
If your system has had less than two minor repairs in the last 10 years, it may still be able to be fixed.

Replace
If your system has had major repairs recently and still isn’t working properly, you should consider replacing it.

Size

Repair
If your unit was installed by a professional and sized to fit your home’s cooling needs, it can last significantly longer.

Replace
Systems that aren’t sized properly are prone to premature failure and poor humidity control.

My dad gave me an old AC unit to set up for this Summer. It will probably need some repairs though. I'll keep what you said in mind though about only repairing it if it costs less than 50% of what a new one would cost me.

For the last few days, I faced problem with my AC. I used this AC around 8 years. That’s why I was searching some tips for repairing the AC. After reading your article, I am thinking to replace the AC. Because repair of this AC is not effective in this situation. Thanks for sharing this article.

I like the measurement of if it will cost over 50% of a new AC unit to fix it then you should just get a new AC unit. My parents have this ancient AC unit and I have been telling them to stop fixing it and to just replace it because it costs so much to find parts for. I am going to send them this article as an "I told you so" haha.

Getting an AC unit replaced completely when an internal part is failing is definitely something I can see being a better idea. Our unit is quite old already, and I had some sense that some of its parts are starting to break faster than we expected. I'll take this opportunity to find an HVAC expert in the area that can help me get it replaced with a better unit.

My air conditioning system has been having some problems, and I'm not sure what to do about it. My system isn't very old, so I should be able to get it repaired. I'll be sure to get a professional to handle that for me.
