There comes a point when keeping an old system running costs more than replacing it, and finding that point takes honest arithmetic rather than a sales pitch. For most homes in St. George, UT, the clues cluster: rising amp draw on a tired compressor, a heat exchanger flagged at inspection, refrigerant that keeps disappearing from an R-22 or early R-410A system, and bills that grow as comfort shrinks. When a major repair lands on equipment past the twelve-to-fifteen-year mark, it is usually a short-term patch on technology that already trails current SEER2 and AFUE standards.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Warning Signs for HVAC Replacement
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- An aging system, twelve to fifteen years or more, with problems piling up
- An R-22 system, or one that loses refrigerant faster than recharges can justify
- A system so noisy you hear every start and stop
- Service calls getting more frequent and more expensive
- Corrosion and soot marks growing on the equipment
- A major compressor or heat exchanger problem on an older system
- Persistent comfort problems that no repair has solved
- Energy bills rising season over season with no change in your habits
