Should You Repair or Replace Your AC This May?

Should You Repair or Replace Your AC This May?

 
As temperatures rise in May, ensuring your air conditioning system is in peak condition becomes essential. But when your AC starts acting up, you might find yourself asking: should you repair it or replace it altogether?

The answer depends on several key factors. First, consider the age of your unit. If your AC is over 10–15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, replacement may be the more cost-effective and energy-efficient choice in the long run. Newer models are not only more reliable but also offer significant savings on energy bills thanks to improved technology.

Next, think about the cost of repairs. A common rule is the “$5,000 rule”—multiply the repair cost by the age of the unit. If it exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the better option.

Another sign it’s time to upgrade is inconsistent cooling or rising energy bills. These may indicate your system is struggling to keep up, costing you more every month. On the other hand, if your unit is relatively new and the issue is minor—like a clogged filter, broken thermostat, or low refrigerant—a simple repair should do the trick.

To make the right choice for your home and budget, it’s best to have a professional evaluate your system. The professional and highly skilled team from A Plus Quality is here to help. With honest advice and expert service, we’ll guide you toward the best solution—whether it’s a cost-effective repair or a high-efficiency replacement.

And for a limited time, with every AC install, we’re offering a 10% discount—making this May the perfect time to upgrade your comfort and savings.

FAQ

  • How do I know what size unit I need?
    If you have any problems with your system, you should contact the contractor who installed the units. All our systems are covered by a 5 year parts, 7 year compressor limited warranty
     
  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.
