A/C Repair Cost
You might think a few A/C parts or a new A/C compressor will do the trick, but if the cost of repair is approximately 30 to 50 percent of the estimated cost of a new unit, replacement probably makes sense.
HVAC Warranty
Consult the Terms and Conditions of your equipment warranty before making heating repair, furnace repair or replacement decisions.
Heating & Air Equipment Age
In general, if your A/C or heat pump is over 8- to 10-years old, it's best to replace.
Moving Homes or Staying
If you plan to move in the near future, repair is usually a good choice. However, if you plan on staying invest in an energy efficient furnace and energy efficient hvac system.
How Well Is Your Existing Equipment Working
Are your electric bills too high? Does your system keep your home cool enough? Are there any cold gaps in your home?
Has your A/C System had Regular Yearly Maintenance?
The U.S. Department of Energy recommend annual pre-season preventive maintenance check-ups performed by a professional contractor. Prevent high energy consumption and fires by regularly checking your air filters and more.

Air Conditioning Tips
Q How often should I change my filter?
This really depends on what kind of filter is being used, and how much you use your system. Usually, you want to change your filter at least every three months - but if you are using a high efficiency filter, then it only needs to be changed every six months to twelve months.
Q What temperature should I set my thermostat to?
The best answer is to set them for what ever temperature keeps you comfortable and the utility bills manageable. the real concern in the home is usually humidity, keeping it high enough in the winter and low enough in the summer both for personal comfort and to retard mold and mildew.
Q Do I need a dehumidifier?
Dehumidifiers can make a big difference in how cool your home feels and your utility costs. Dehumidifiers reduce excessive levels of moisture (humidity) in your home's air.
Q Why won't my outdoor unit come on?
The double pole breaker in the panel could be tripped. The unit may need to be serviced so the safety switches can be checked. If these switches have been tripped, then it will not send the command for the A/C unit to come on.
Q Why is my indoor unit leaking water?
The condensation drain could be clogged or the indoor coil could be freezing up due to dirty filter or low refrigerant charge. If this is the case the drain needs to be cleaned out and the filter may need to be changed.
Q I am not getting enough airflow.
Your air filter could be clogged, the duct work could be undersized for the space or a failing blower motor. If your filter has been changes recently then you may need a qualified system design specialist to look at the duct design to see if it is properly sized.
