Should I Repair Or Replace My HVAC Equipment

by aztilac / Wednesday, 12 May 2021 / Published in Aztil Air Conditioning
HVAC Equipment

A question going through the minds of many people this summer is – “Should I repair or replace my HVAC equipment?” On its own, one may think that to be a very inconsequential decision, but in the future, it will be largely responsible for how much you spend on the well-being and upkeep of your heating and cooling system.

Sadly, not all of us have money lying around waiting to be spent. A vast majority has to prepare for any major expense, and replacement of the HVAC system is just that. If repairs can give relief, it seems like a more feasible action. Though, it may not always be the right one. 

To remove any doubts and solve the dilemma between – repair or replace HVAC equipment, we shall talk about scenarios that are clearly indicative of the action one must take.

Repair Or Replace The HVAC Equipment

Replacement The Wiser Option When…

The decision to replace your existing heating and cooling system is not easy. It is a significant investment, and you need to prepare yourself for it. Having said that, if you encounter any of the below-mentioned scenarios, replacement is on the cards.

1. HVAC System Needs Constant Repairs – From time to time, most HVAC systems will require repairs. There is nothing unusual about it – long hours of running result in wear and tear, which is the harbinger of troubles. Nevertheless, if your HVAC system demands increasingly more repairs each successive year, you need to consider your options. The deal to replace is cemented if the cost of repairs moves upward, making finances tight on your pockets and the unit excessively challenging to maintain in a good working condition.
2. The Unit Has Become A Safety Concern – As a homeowner or a building manager, your prime concern is safety. When the safety of your heating and cooling system becomes questionable, there is no option left other than to replace it. If you continue using it with minor repairs, trying to put off a major expenditure, it will only create additional risk for you and other inhabitants. For example, let us take the case of a cracked heat exchanger. If you continue to use the furnace, it will lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can have potentially fatal consequences. Nonetheless, whether repairs are possible and will hold in the long term is a question only an HVAC technician can answer. If they declare your unit a safety hazard, replace it immediately.
3. The Unit Is More Than 10 Years Old – Once any HVAC unit reaches the 10-year mark, you will realize that getting spares has become increasingly difficult. The technology, too, has become outdated. Efficiency is barely making a dent. If you have the necessary funds or can arrange for them, the most viable solution would be to replace the HVAC equipment. Nonetheless, this is one decision only you can make based on your financial capability.
4.  HVAC System Is Inefficient – Sometimes, the choice of the HVAC system right from the very beginning is incorrect. Instead of making an informed decision, we go by looks and features and purchase a superficially attractive unit, but it is wrong in every other aspect. The fault majorly lies in its size. One lands up buying an oversized or undersized unit. The problem with them is not that they won’t work. Rather, the problem is that they don’t work efficiently. So, where you were expecting savings, you get steep energy bills and can’t seem to understand where you went wrong. You can only rectify the situation by replacing your existing HVAC system.

Repairs Will Hold In Good Stead When…

Just because you have money on hand and can afford to replace your HVAC unit does not mean that is what you should do. Repair may not sound nice, but it can hold good for years and give you a full return on your investment. Hence, don’t rule out the option of repairs. Here are some scenarios where repairs will save the day  for you:

1. Unit Still Under Warranty – You bought an HVAC unit, and it is still under warranty – this is a classic case where repairs are advisable. As long as you have taken care of the annual maintenance requirement, the warranty on the product will save you from a lot of financial trouble. If it’s a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer will bear the cost of rectification. If you have purchased a maintenance plan that also covers repairs, your HVAC contractor will be responsible for it. The point is, from your side, you have to bear the barest minimum expense. So, if you can get away with token payment and still get years of hassle-free service, why not? Under this scenario, the repair is a wiser option.
2. Repair Cost Is Manageable – If the cost of repairs is manageable, there is no need to purchase a new system. As long as the repair is good enough and the technician does not advise replacement, repairing is the way to go.
3. You Don’t Have The Budget To Buy A New Unit – If buying a new unit is not in your budget presently and there are no safety concerns attached to the failing system, repairs will see you through. It would also give you a chance to arrange for the necessary funds.

Repair Or Replace HVAC Equipment- Final Round-Up

After going through the above discussion, you know quite plainly that there are times when replacement is the only option, especially if there is an associated risk attached to your current system. At other times you can still ward off the decision by opting for repairs. The easiest way to answer whether to repair or replace the HVAC equipment is by assessing your budget and also if replacement is the technicians’ advice.
