The decision depends on your system’s age, condition, and repair costs. Generally, if your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, repair makes sense. For systems over 15 years old, especially those needing expensive components like compressors, replacement often provides better long-term value.
We evaluate several factors: the system’s efficiency, how often it’s needed repairs lately, whether parts are readily available, and your energy bills. An older, inefficient system might run constantly during Connecticut summers, driving up electricity costs significantly. A new, efficient system could cut your cooling costs by 20-30% while providing more reliable comfort. We’ll show you the numbers so you can make an informed decision.
