Age of the Unit
Potentially the biggest factor of all is how old your HVAC system is. Generally speaking, most HVAC systems begin to severely decline around the age of 12-15, depending on how well maintained they have been throughout the years. If your A/C unit has been suffering lots of repairs lately and is quite old, you can assume that your unit is at the end of its lifespan. In either case, call Academy Air to have one of our technicians inspect your unit, walk you through your options, answer any questions, and provide you with a price quote for either repair or replacement services. You can trust that our techs at Academy Air will only ever recommend what is best for you!

Frequency of Repairs
As previously mentioned, if you are seeking professional repair services from Academy Air quite frequently, you may want to inquire about replacement options to see if it makes more financial sense. If your A/C unit is needing frequent repairs, this can actually cost more in the long run, rather than just replacing the unit entirely. You can rely on Academy Air for an honest opinion on whether you should repair or replace your air conditioning unit based on the frequency of repairs needed.

Cost of Repairs
If you are in fact needing consistent repairs on your HVAC system, when deciding whether to repair or replace the unit altogether, take into consideration the total cost of the repairs. If the repairs are happening more frequently, and are costing more each time, it is likely that your air A/C unit is nearing the end of its lifespan and the better financial decision would be to replace the unit as a whole. If you are in need of assistance repairing or replacing your HVAC system, you can always rely on Academy Air to help you make the right decision.

R-22 Freon
Lastly, it is important to take into consideration whether your current unit is using R-22 Freon as a refrigerant. R-22 Refrigerant has been recently discontinued in the U.S. and St. Louis, MO area, so if you are experiencing frequent, costly repairs, and your unit runs on R-22, you may as well replace the unit and install a new one altogether as R-22 is becoming less and less available.
