Cooling System Contractor: Should I Repair or Replace My HVAC System?
One of the biggest decisions homeowners face is whether to repair or replace their HVAC system. To help you make the best choice, consider factors like the age of your system, how long you plan to stay in your home, and what it costs to keep your current system running.
A common saying is “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it,” but this overlooks the long-term expenses of frequent repairs on an aging system. For example, if you invest in a new system today at an upfront cost of $6,000, you could save an average of $1,000 in repair costs over five years. Additionally, newer systems offer better energy efficiency, meaning lower utility bills.
On the other hand, if you stick with an older system and continue to make repairs, you might face 10% higher replacement costs in five years—on top of repair bills. If your utility bills and repair costs are stacking up, it might be smarter to replace the system now rather than later. If your current system is running efficiently without costly repairs, sticking with repairs may be the better option.
How to Choose the Right HVAC Contractor
Choosing a reliable HVAC contractor doesn’t have to be stressful. Follow these tips to ensure you’re making the best choice:
- Look for Licensed Professionals: Make sure your contractor is fully licensed and has a proven track record of experience.
- Check Their Standing: Verify their reputation with the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada, the Better Business Bureau, and North American Technician Excellence (NATE).
- Availability for Emergencies: Ensure they offer 24/7 emergency services.
- Visit Their Showroom: Established contractors often have showrooms where you can see products and meet their team in person.
- Insurance Coverage: Ensure the contractor offers insurance coverage for all installers working on your property.
