Many Austin home owners struggle with the dilemma of whether to repair or replace their current air conditioning system. If the cost of getting your austin heating and air conditioning system back up and running is minor, then having it repaired may be the best option. But here are some factors you should consider before investing more repair dollars into your existing system.

System is More Than 10 Years Old or Needs Frequent Repairs

Consider replacing a HVAC unit that old with a high-efficiency model. Installed correctly, high-efficiency units can have a dramatic impact on your electric bill and actually pay for themselves over time. Frequent repairs are a sign that your old unit has reached the end of its life and is just worn out.Continuing to pay for more repairs is only prolonging the inevitable. The sooner you replace a unit in this condition, the sooner your energy bills will improve, which can end up paying for the new system and saving you money in the future.

High Energy Bills

Your air conditioning system makes up as much as 60% of your utility bill each month. Older, inefficient systems ...
... use more electricity to deliver the same comfort level as current high-efficiency units do. Many homeowners experience a dramatic drop in their energy bills after a new system is installed.Although each home is different, 50% reductions in utility bills (from the same time period during the previous year) is not uncommon.

Different Rooms are Too Hot or Too Cold

These kinds of problems are usually the result of an improperly engineered system when the home was built or when the last unit was installed.A well trained technician can diagnose hot/cold spots in your house and determine if the problem is related to the unit's size (tons), inadequate insulation, improper duct work or some combination of these.

No two homes are exactly alike and as such, the only way to really know if repairing your HVAC system is the best option is to have a qualified heating and air conditioning specialist evaluate your home and explain to you their findings.
