When you suddenly realize that your home or business is hotter than it should be, your first thought is likely how bad is the hit to your wallet going to be to get the problem resolved. Depending on the age of your air conditioner, you might be thinking that the chances for air conditioning repair instead of replacement are pretty slim. It might surprise you to learn that there are many issues that are relatively low in cost to resolve, so even an older system can gain a bit more useable life. In most cases, however, you’ll still have to get all the information you need so that you can decide between air conditioning repair or replacement.
The first thing to find out is what each will cost. If the estimate for the air conditioning repair is sizeable, it might be better to put that money into a new unit instead, especially if you can also gain significant energy savings in the process. Speaking of energy savings, that can also tip the scale in favor of replacement, even if the repair is affordable. If you have an older unit, it is costing you money every single month that you don’t need to be spending. Another part of the decision process is the potential for the air conditioning repair to extend the life of the system. An experienced air conditioning contractor can tell you more about the condition of your system and whether future repairs aren’t far off.
