🛠️ Repair vs. Replace: How to Know What’s Best for Your AC
When your air conditioner starts acting up in the middle of a scorching Tucson summer, you're left with one big question: Should I repair or replace my AC? At City Heating and Cooling, we’re here to help you make the smart call—so you can stay cool and comfortable without wasting money.
🚨
Sometimes, a quick fix is all you need. Call for a repair if you notice:
Warm air blowing from vents
Weak airflow from registers
Unusual noises or smells
Short cycling (frequent on/off)
Sudden spike in energy bills
If your system is less than 10 years old and has been well-maintained, repairs are often the best route.
🧊 When It’s Time to Replace Your AC
While repairs are cheaper upfront, they may not be the smartest investment long-term. Consider a replacement if:
Your system is 10–15+ years old
Repairs cost more than 50% of a new unit
Your AC uses R-22 refrigerant (now banned)
Your home isn’t staying cool—even after repairs
Your energy bills keep rising, even with maintenance
A new high-efficiency system can save you hundreds yearly in energy costs and give you peace of mind.
