Objective criteria help you make the right decision:
Choose REPAIR when:
System is under 10 years old
Only one component needs fixing
Repair cost is under 30% of replacement cost
System has been regularly maintained
Efficiency is still reasonable
No other major issues anticipated
Choose REPLACEMENT when:
System is over 15 years old
Multiple major components failing
Repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value
Energy bills have increased significantly
System uses R-22 refrigerant (being phased out)
Frequent repairs becoming pattern
Our recommendation process:
Show you both options with honest cost comparison
Explain 5-year total cost of ownership for each option
Present payback period for replacement efficiency gains
Let you decide based on your financial priorities
We make zero commission difference between repair and replacement. Your decision is based on facts, not our profit motive.
