When to Repair & When to Replace Your HVAC System
While many heating and cooling issues can easily be resolved with repair services, it is sometimes more cost-effective to replace your system altogether. Pippin Brothers technicians are honest and knowledgeable, only recommending repairs or a replacement when you truly need it. When deciding between repairing and replacing your HVAC equipment, there are a few factors to keep in mind:
- Equipment age - Generally, if you’re having issues with heating & cooling equipment that’s over 10 years old, a replacement could be the best solution.
- Frequency & cost of repairs - If you’ve had multiple service calls in the past year or the cost of repairing your HVAC system is more than half of the cost for a replacement, a new system could be the most cost-effective choice.
- Available incentives & financing - There are several rebates and tax credits available to make a replacement heating & cooling system more affordable.
