Pick your system, its age, and what needs fixing. The result updates as you add details, and every extra answer makes it sharper.

Typical replacement in our area: $6,500 to $12,500.

This is a guide, not a diagnosis. Only an inspection can confirm what your system needs. Replacement range shown is a sample for our area.

How We Decide

How We Decide

How We Decide

These are the rules we actually use, so you can check our math.

Age and Lifespan

Age and Lifespan

Most air conditioners and heat pumps last 12 to 15 years. Furnaces often reach 20. Past those marks, repairs buy less time.

The 5,000 Rule

The 5,000 Rule

Multiply the repair cost by the age of the system in years. Over 5,000 usually means replace. Under it usually means repair.

The 50 Percent Rule

The 50 Percent Rule

If one repair costs half or more of a new system, that money is usually better spent on replacement.

Refrigerant

Refrigerant

Older systems that use R-22 are costly to recharge because it is no longer made. A leak there is often the end of the road.

Our AC quit on the hottest day of the week. They came out the same afternoon, explained exactly what failed, and had us cool again within two hours.

Tom R.
