Should I Repair or Replace My HVAC?

If you’re reading this mid-sweat, we’ll spare you the fluff. 

The quick math:If the fix costs more than $5,000, go ahead and replace it.
If it’s under $5,000, a repair might still be worth it. 

Repair might be your move if:

• The warranty still has your back
• Your system is under 10 years old (still a baby in HVAC years)
• You haven’t had to beg it for life more than 3 times in the last 3 years
• You’re not planning to stick around in your house for more than 7 years Read More

Replace it if:

• Your energy bills are looking like luxury rent
• Some rooms feel like Antarctica and others like the Sahara
• Your A/C plays hard to get and won’t turn off Go Deeper

A little thing called SEER:
That’s Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The higher the SEER, the less energy your system sucks up. “Upgrading a 15-year-old 12 SEER unit to a new 16 SEER2 one and you could save up to 40% on cooling costs.” – Kobie Complete has a calculator so you don’t have to do math

Bonus points:
Want Ohio energy rebates? These are just waiting for you to claim them.

Oh, and whether you repair or replace, change your filter every 90 days. Not negotiable.
