• How do I know when it’s time for a New AC System?

It is likely time for a new AC system if it is 10-15+ years old, requires frequent or expensive repairs (especially compressor/coil failures) or if your energy bills are rapidly rising. Other key indicators include poor cooling, excessive noise, or high humidity. If repair costs approach 50% of a new unit’s value, replacement is often more economical. Family Air Experts offers FREE estimates, and our technicians will give you an honest recommendation based on your needs. If a repair makes more sense for you, that is what we will do.

• Is it cheaper to repair or replace an AC unit?

It’s usually cheaper to repair minor issues upfront, but replacing becomes more cost-effective long-term when repairs are major (like compressor/coil), the unit is old (10+ years), or its efficiency savings outweigh repair costs, using rules like the “50% rule” (repair > 50% of new unit cost) to decide, as newer models offer better efficiency, reliability, and warranties. Family Air Experts’ technicians strive to find the right solution for you, and will make an expert recommendation and will not push a new unit sale on you.
