AC Repair services can be difficult to deal with. These costs are usually unexpected and challenging to budget for. How do you know if your AC repairs are worth the cost? If your air conditioner unit has regular maintenance and has been kept in good condition it can last up to 15 years. As your air conditioning unit gets older, mechanical parts may need to be replaced or repaired. This is something that can be expected.

If your AC Repair costs become excessive after about 10 years, then it may be time for a replacement, however, if you find that you have had less than a handful of repairs by the time it is this age, then you may be able to put off a new unit for another year or two.

There have been many instances in our experience where an AC Repair on an 8- or 10-year-old air conditioning unit, even if it is an expensive one, that can make a unit last another 5 years. If you get an estimate for an AC Repair and you aren’t sure if it’s worth it, consider asking the following questions to help you decide:

• How old is my unit?
• Is my unit under warranty?
• Are the parts and service in this AC Repair covered by a warranty?
• Did this part go out due to normal wear and tear or is there another cause we should be addressing?
• How likely is it that this part is going to have to be replaced in the future?
• Are there other parts that should be replaced at the same time?
• Is it better to replace my unit at this time?
