REPAIR

• 
  Age: Systems less than 10 years old can usually be repaired without running into issues
• 
  Current Condition: Systems with minor damage (electrical issues, faulty ductwork and blocked drain lines) can usually be repaired. 
• 
  Repair Costs: If repair costs fall below 25% of the cost of a new unit, consider going with the repair.
• 
  Monthly Bills: If your monthly bills have increased by less than 10%, consider a tune-up/repair. 
• 
  Repair Frequency: If your system has been repaired less than twice over the last 10 years, it could probably be fixed with another single repair. 
• 
  Size: If your current AC is properly sized for your home, repairs can get extra life out of it.

REPLACE

• 
  Age: Older systems must be replaced, as they are less efficient than modern equipment and utilize toxic, out-of-date refrigerants. 
• 
  Current Condition: If damage is severe (broken motors, blown compressors, damaged condenser coils), the AC should be replaced. 
• 
  Repair Costs: If repair costs more than 25% of a new unit cost, it's more advantageous to replace your AC altogether.
• 
  Monthly Bills: If your monthly bills have increased by more than 10% over previous years, consider replacing it.
• 
  Repair Frequency: If your system has been repaired more than twice over the last 10 years, consider replacing.
• 
  Size: Undersized or oversized AC units should be replaced.
