Replacement

When repair no longer pays

Old unit, R-22, or the repair is more than half a new system. We quote the changeout.

We answer 24/7 — call, chat or email, English or Spanish.

From the first call to cold air — one licensed crew.

Rule of thumb

  • About 12–15 years old and a major failure
  • R-22 / refrigerant that is no longer cheap
  • The repair costs more than half a new system

At some point a unit stops being worth fixing. We help you find that line honestly — running the repair cost against the age, refrigerant status, and what a new system would actually save you on the monthly bill. If repair makes sense, we say so. If it doesn't, we show you why on paper and give you options you can compare.

Exactly what’s included

  • An honest repair-vs-replace calculation using your unit's actual age, current repair quote, and real-world efficiency loss — not a sales pitch
  • R-22 refrigerant assessment — the gas is banned and expensive to recharge, and a leaking R-22 system is a decision point, not a routine repair
  • A load calculation so the replacement is sized to your home today — not copied from the old unit, which may have been wrong for years
  • Energy projection showing what a new SEER2-rated system saves versus your current unit's degraded real-world output
  • Removal and responsible disposal of the old condenser, air handler, and refrigerant — handled on the same day as the install
  • A price you approve before we order anything — covering equipment, labor, permit, and haul-away in one number, nothing added at the end

How the visit goes, step by step

  1. 1
    We listen to the history first

    How old is the unit? What's broken, and how many times has it broken before? A system that's been patched twice in three years is telling you something. We look at the repair record and the current failure before we say anything about replacing it.

  2. 2
    We run the numbers with you

    Repair cost, expected remaining life, what the same money gets you in a new system, and the monthly savings from the efficiency jump. The five-thousand-dollar compressor on a twelve-year-old R-22 unit almost never pencils out — we show you the math, not just the conclusion.

  3. 3
    You choose the path, we price it clean

    If you decide to replace, we present good, better, and best system options with what each efficiency tier means for your electric bill. One all-in price. If you decide to repair, we do that well too — no pressure either direction.

  4. 4
    Replacement day — one crew, start to finish

    Old unit out, new matched system in, refrigerant charged, airflow verified, thermostat set. County permit pulled and inspection scheduled — the paperwork is part of the job, not an afterthought billed separately.

Real South Florida examples

The kind of situations we handle every week.

Miami home, compressor failed at year twelve

The repair quote was nearly half the cost of a new system — on an R-22 unit that couldn't be recharged cheaply anymore. Replacing beat patching by any honest math. The new system runs quieter and the August bill showed exactly what the efficiency projection said it would.

Broward townhome, R-22 coil leaking for the second time

The first leak was patched two years earlier. The second meant the coil was corroded through. No point recharging a system whose refrigerant costs several hundred dollars a pound and whose coil won't hold. New system, clean coil, no more patches.

Palm Beach home, bills creeping up for three summers in a row

No single dramatic failure — just a unit working harder and harder to hold the same temperature. The efficiency had degraded to the point where replacing it paid back in under four years at current rates. Sometimes the signal is slow and steady, not a breakdown.

What drives the price (and why)

  • Age and repair history — in South Florida's climate the economics shift noticeably around year ten to twelve
  • R-22 refrigerant status — if the system runs on it and has a refrigerant leak, the math changes sharply
  • Current repair cost as a percentage of replacement — anything above forty percent deserves a hard look at the full picture
  • Monthly savings from the efficiency upgrade — a modern SEER2 system in South Florida's year-round cooling load often closes the gap faster than expected
