Repair Vs. Replacement in Melbourne, FL

A common question we get at Climate Experts Air, Plumbing & Electric is when you should repair or replace your HVAC system. When an air conditioner malfunctions, repairing it is often the most cost-effective solution. But at some point, an AC will become too old and worn down for repairs to be worth it. In these cases, it’s better to have the unit replaced.

Whether it’s repair or replacement, you can always count on our team for quality work in Melbourne, FL.

AC Repair vs. AC Replacement: Which Is Better?

Oftentimes customers don’t want to pay for an AC replacement, if the problem is something that could be simply be repaired. Based on our expertise, these signs are what you need to look for:

Signs You Need Replacement

Take a look at the many signs below that may indicate it’s time to have a professionally trained Technician come out and review the options for a replacement AC system.

• Age. An air conditioner can reasonably last between 10–15 years. Anything beyond that is a gamble with your budget and your comfort.
• Inefficiency. As air conditioners get older, they also wane in efficiency. A replacement might save you money in the long run with lower energy bills each month.
• Poor comfort. What’s the point of having an air conditioner if it’s not keeping you cool? Call our team for proper replacement services so you’re set up with a unit that does.
• Frequent repairs. Your AC should only need repairs once every few years. If they’re more common than that, you might need a new one.
• An expensive repair. When your air conditioner’s repair would cost more than half the price of a new system, it’s better to go with the replacement.
• Improper sizing – If the existing system is too small for the home than it will never keep up with the cooling demand and temperatures will continue to rise.
• Condition- If the system is extremely corroded, especially the coils, the system will work inefficiently and cause expensive electric bills. Corroded coils can not be repaired and must be replaced with new. At this point a new system may be more affordable and offer better warranties.
• Faulty installation- If the original HVAC system was not installed properly it will never cool your home efficiently. Manufacturer warranties do not warranty improper installation of air conditioning equipment.
