Should I Choose AC Repair or Replacement?
Although repairs may seem like the most cost-effective option for a malfunctioning air conditioning system, that is not always the case, even if AC repairs are technically possible. If your system is over 10 years old, replacing a costly component like a compressor or coil may not make financial sense when the expected life span of the typical air conditioner is 12 to 15 years. Repairs are often the best choice if the problems are minor, like a faulty thermostat, capacitor, or contactor, and your system is less than 10 years old.
We recommend AC replacement, however, if:
- Your air conditioner is over 12 to 15 years old
- It needs frequent repairs
- It has a costly problem like a leaking coil or faulty compressor
- It is inefficient and expensive to operate
- Or it has an obsolete refrigerant like R-22

Frequently Asked AC Installation Questions
How long does the average air conditioner last?
Most air conditioner manufacturers put the life spans of their products somewhere between 15 and 20 years, assuming regular function, consistent maintenance, and rapid repair of any problems. You might want to replace yours after 10 years if technological advances offer enough energy efficiency or comfort improvements. Still, your unit should be able to manage for at least 10 years unless a critical error occurs.
What does it cost to replace an air conditioner?
It depends on too many factors to give a price without considering the situation. You have to consider the cost of the new air conditioner itself and the labor involved—which can vary depending on the accessibility of your system and other factors. There may be additional costs to consider, like air purifiers, humidifiers, etc.
Would I be better off with a heat pump?
It depends on your specific needs. A heat pump for cooling purposes isn’t much different from an air conditioner because it cools using the same technology. However, you can set up a heat pump system to offer room-by-room climate control and avoid ducts, which is hypothetically possible for air conditioning but never done in practice. Heat pumps excel in heating efficiency in comparison, offering triple the efficiency of traditional heating solutions.
