Can My Air Conditioner be Repaired?
- A rule of thumb is when the repair will cost a quarter the price of a new unit or less.
- When damage to your unit is straightforward, such as blocked drain lines, a ductwork issue, or simple electrical faults.
- If your air conditioning unit is less than 10 years old, most repairs will restore optimal efficiency.
If your energy bill has remained consistent over the past 12 months.
Should I Replace My Air Conditioner?
- If your air conditioning unit is more than 10 years old, it’s likely to be using outmoded and possibly dangerous refrigerants.
- When there is damage to major parts, such as the motor, compressor and condenser coils. In this case, repair costs are likely to exceed 25% of the cost of a new air conditioner.
- When your electricity bills have spiked.
- You’re needing to call out an engineer frequently.
- When the unit you have is not right for the space it conditions. Both undersized and oversized air conditioners should really be replaced.
