AC Repair vs Replacement
The eternal question arises: to repair or replace? The most suitable path for AC unit maintenance typically revolves around balancing cost-effectiveness with the unit’s age and its impact on performance:
0-8 Years: Your unit is relatively young, with a good chunk of its lifespan ahead. Repairs are usually the more cost-effective option during this period.
9-14 Years: The unit starts showing signs of wear and tear. If it’s been well-maintained, repairs might still be the way to go. However, if it’s been working hard with minimal maintenance over this decade, investing in a new unit could be more economical in the long haul.
15+ Years: After facing the highs (and occasional lows) of Orange’s climate, your unit has certainly put in the miles. At this juncture, it might be wise to opt for a replacement. The reasons are manifold: older parts get tricky to source, the efficiency of aged units might dent your finances, and advancements in technology mean newer models often perform better.
