If your equipment is ten years old and you are facing a repair of several hundred dollars, it may be time to consider replacing it. Not only can you apply the money you would spend on the repair towards the new system, but you save the expense of more repairs this year or the next. If your equipment is ten years old, you will need to replace it in a few years anyway. Today's repair may be little more than money down the drain. It can make more sense to spend money on a new system instead of more repairs.

A Few Facts:
· As heat pumps and air conditioners age, their performance declines. They have a harder time keeping up with cooling demand. Efficiency falls.
· As parts age and wear, breakdowns increase in frequency. It becomes increasingly likely that you will be faced with the hassle and inconvenience of a repair during the hottest time of the year (when equipment is running the hardest), when service companies are backlogged.
· The air conditioning industry has made remarkable strides in recent years. With the new efficiencies available it is usually possible to cut your air conditioning bill in half!

Newer, more efficient systems usually result in dramatic improvements in the comfort of your home.
If your system is 10 years old or older, you may want to consider replacing it rather than repairing it.
