Repair or replace is the real question
Nobody wants to be told they need a new system. So we do not lead with that. We come out, measure what the existing unit is actually doing, and look at its efficiency, its condition and how much life is realistically left in it.
Plenty of the time the answer is a repair. A capacitor or a contactor is a small bill and buys you years. But there is a point where you are putting good money into a unit that will fail again next summer, and on an old system with a dying compressor that point has usually already passed.
When replacing genuinely is the better call, we will show you why, and what a new system would cost to run compared with what you have now. Then it is your decision, not ours.
Signs it is time
One of these on its own is not a verdict. Several together usually is.
- The unit is 12 to 15 years old or more
- Repairs are getting more frequent
- The last repair quote was a big one
- The compressor has failed
- Power bills keep climbing for the same comfort
- Some rooms never get cold
- It runs constantly and still cannot hold the thermostat
- It uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced
What it costs
We do not publish a price, because a number without seeing your building would be a guess. What the job costs comes down to the size of the property, the system it needs, the state of the existing ductwork and what has to be done to get the new unit in.
What we will do is come out, work it through with you, and put a real figure in front of you before anything starts. If it is more than you want to spend right now, say so and we will talk about financing or about keeping the current unit going a while longer.
What happens on the day
We check the property layout and the existing infrastructure first, so there are no surprises once work starts. The old system comes out carefully, gets properly disconnected and is disposed of responsibly.
Then the new unit goes in, gets connected and tested, and we do not leave until it is running the way it was specified to. The full step-by-step is on the installation page. After that, annual maintenance is what protects the investment.
