We Specialize in HVAC Replacement. Serving Houston TX and Surrounding Areas.

Your AC unit is arguably the most important aspect of your home, one that you will definitely notice when it malfunctions. Malfunctions are the main reason homeowners replace AC systems. However, it could be more cost effective to repair broken parts rather than replacing the entire system. And because money is involved in the decision, many people are left in a dilemma whether to repair or replace their entire system.

Here are some reasons you should consider replacing the entire system:

Your System is 15 years old or more.

Age should be a major determinant when deciding whether to replace the entire system or just repair it. A typical AC system has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Therefore, if your AC system is acting up and is over 15 years old, consider replacing it. Did you know you can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 75% just by replacing your AC unit?

Today’s units are not only more efficient but also environmentally friendly, in comparison to AC systems from a decade ago.

Repair costs are higher than the cost of replacement.

A faulty AC system will not only cause an increase in energy costs, but it can also drain your bank account. You might be skeptical, since the cost of a new system runs into thousands of dollars, while repair only costs a few hundred dollars. Look at it this way: if your system needs repair once every month, the cumulative costs of repair will be equivalent or higher than that of purchasing a new system.

Therefore, we advise our clients to replace the system, rather than incur repeated repair costs every now and then.

There are many other reasons your AC system needs replacement, but one thing is sure, you need it done right the first time. Contact Donald Duct and Steam to get your system replaced by experienced and reputable professionals.
