Should I Repair or Replace My AC?
A common question from St. Petersburg homeowners: is it better to fix my current system or replace it? Here is the rule of thumb our technicians use:
- Repair if: the system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than 50% of a new system
- Replace if: the system is 12-15+ years old, refrigerant is R-22 (no longer manufactured), or repair costs are high
- Consider replacing if: your electric bills keep rising even after repairs
Our technicians will give you an honest recommendation. We have been building relationships in St. Petersburg for nearly 40 years, and that reputation matters to us.
