Residential Air Conditioning
Is It Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner?
If your system is over 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or struggles to keep your home comfortable, it may be time for an upgrade. Rising energy bills and inconsistent cooling are also common signs your AC may be on its last legs.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Air Conditioner?
Replacing your cooling system is a big investment, so it’s important to weigh your options carefully. Here are some key factors to consider:
Age of Your Air Conditioner
If your AC is over 15 years old and facing multiple or expensive repairs, it may be time to start fresh with a new, energy-efficient system. If it's under 15 years and the repair is minor, repairing might still make sense.
Cost of Repairs vs. Replacement
A general rule of thumb: if repair costs are 50% or more of the cost of a new system—and your AC is aging—replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice. Major repairs like a failed compressor or coil replacement are often a tipping point.
Comfort and Efficiency
Even if you’re not paying for big repairs, a system that struggles to keep your home cool or causes higher energy bills may be on its last legs. Upgrading can improve performance, lower your utility bills, and keep your home more comfortable.

Not necessarily. You don’t have to replace both systems at the same time—many of our customers choose to replace just their air conditioner. However, if your furnace is around the same age and showing signs of wear or reduced efficiency, it might make sense to consider replacing both units together. This can improve overall system performance and energy efficiency. We’re happy to provide you with separate estimates so you can compare the cost of replacing just the AC versus replacing both, and choose the option that best fits your needs and budget.
