Should I repair or replace my old air conditioning unit?
The decision to repair or replace your old air conditioning unit depends on several factors such as the age of the unit, frequency and cost of repairs, energy efficiency, and current performance. Units older than 10-15 years or those requiring frequent expensive repairs might be more cost-effective to replace.

Choosing the right air conditioning system involves considering factors like your home's size, energy efficiency, budget, and cooling needs. Evaluate different types of systems such as central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, and window units. It’s advisable to consult with an HVAC expert to determine the best option for your specific requirements.
