Decision Guide

Repair or Replace? The Industry Rule

✓ Consider Repair When

→System is under 10 years old and well maintained
→Repair cost is less than 50% of replacement cost
→R-410A refrigerant system — not R-22
→No recurring failures in the last 2 seasons
→Compressor and coils in good condition

⚠️ Consider Replacement When

!System is 12+ years old in local climate conditions
!Repair quote exceeds 50% of new system cost
!R-22 refrigerant system — expensive to recharge
!Compressor failure on older system
!Below current federal SEER2 minimum for your climate zone

50% Rule — Industry Standard

If repair cost exceeds 50% of a new system's installed price, replacement is typically more economical — industry standard guideline used by licensed HVAC contractors nationwide.

Common Questions

Las Vegas, NV Homeowner FAQ

When should I repair vs replace my HVAC system?

The industry rule of thumb is to replace when repair cost exceeds 50% of the new system's installed price, or when the system is over 15 years old — the average HVAC system lifespan. A system running R-22 refrigerant, which was phased out due to its environmental impact and is now expensive to source, is also a strong replacement candidate. A licensed HVAC contractor can perform a full system assessment and provide both repair and replacement options so you can compare.

How much does HVAC repair or replacement cost?

HVAC repair and replacement costs vary significantly by system type, home size, region, equipment brand, and the specific repair needed. A licensed HVAC contractor will diagnose your system and provide a written estimate before any work begins — this is the most reliable way to understand your actual cost given your specific system and situation. Always request a written estimate before authorizing work.

What is SEER 2 and why does it matter?

SEER 2 is the updated federal efficiency rating for air conditioning and heat pump systems, required for all new installations as of January 2023. Higher SEER 2 ratings — 17 to 21 — can reduce cooling energy costs significantly compared to minimum-efficiency systems. In hot climates like the Sun Belt, upgrading to a high-efficiency system often pays back through lower utility bills. A licensed contractor can calculate the payback period for your specific home and climate zone.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

The most common causes are a refrigerant leak, a failed capacitor, a frozen evaporator coil, or a blocked condenser unit. Check that the outdoor condenser is not blocked by debris and that your air filter is not clogged before calling a contractor. A visibly dirty filter should be replaced immediately. If those basic checks do not resolve the issue, a licensed HVAC technician can diagnose and repair the specific cause.

What does a licensed HVAC contractor check on a service call?

A licensed HVAC technician will inspect refrigerant levels, electrical components, capacitors, contactors, coils, filters, and system controls. They document findings and provide a written diagnosis and estimate before any repair work begins. All contractors in our network are state-licensed and insured — verifying credentials before authorizing work is always recommended.
