Repair or Replace

Should you repair or replace your air conditioner, heat pump, furnace or boiler? When something breaks down, it’s tempting to go the quick route and pay for repairs to get it up and running again. That quick-fix may seem the least expensive route now, but it may not offer the most value in the long run.

Air Conditioner Details

Air Conditioner

The air conditioner is part of a split system. You have product that resides inside and outside your home:

  • Air Conditioner – Cools refrigerant
  • Furnace and Evaporator Coil – Converts refrigerant and circulates air
  • Ducts – Carry the air throughout your home
  • Control or Thermostat – Your interface for controlling your system
  • Optional Air Quality Accessories such as Air Cleaners or Ventilators – Clean your air before it circulates throughout your home

Equipment Age and Life Expectancy

Most equipment is designed for a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years.

Old Equipment
VS.
New Equipment

Older equipment is prone to the following:

  • More expensive repairs, such as compressors or heat exchangers
  • Much lower energy efficiency vs. today's standards
  • Reduced performance due to clogged or corroding coils
Repair Cost

Equipment Repair

Repairing existing equipment can be a good decision as long as:

  • The cost of the repair is less than 30% of the cost of new equipment
  • The rest of the system is in excellent operating condition

Otherwise, the cost of the repair would be better invested in a new system.

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is an energy efficiency rating for air conditioners. The higher the SEER, the better the energy performance, the more you save.

Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency

The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) is a measure of a gas furnace's efficiency in converting fuel to energy, by projecting the average thermal efficiency for a complete heating season. A higher AFUE rating means greater energy efficiency.

If you are moving within the next year or two and believe investing in a new home comfort system will improve the value of your home, you should consider making the investment. If you plan to live in your current residence for many years, it may be wise to invest in your future comfort.
