How old is your furnace? Consider the cost of repairs and how often you’ve needed them. We use the $5000 rule. Here’s how it works. Multiply the age by the cost of repair per year and if that is less than $5000, repair the furnace. For example, if your furnace is 12 years old, and the repair will cost $500, multiply 12X500=6000, which is greater than 5000. Because the cost is so high for repairing it, it’s time to replace the unit. 

When it comes to furnaces, there are two main types—an oil furnace and a gas furnace. An oil furnace sees about 15-25 years of life when it’s properly maintained, while a gas furnace gets about 15-20 years out of it.

While a repair bill can run anywhere from $100 to $1200, we find that the average is about $300, with our customer’s bills ranging from $170 to $500 for repairs. Now, the pricing comes down to a couple of factors such as if it’s under warranty, how much work is involved, are there parts needed, and what type of unit it is. 

According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost of an AC Unit replacement ranges between $3700 to $7000. This cost varies based on several factors, including your system needs, location, and the condition of your already installed air ducts.

This could be due to many reasons. You can check the settings, or for any blocked vents or dirty air filters. It could also be due to a dirty condenser coil or a refrigerant leak. It is not possible to diagnose without getting it checked. 

Irregular maintenance of an AC unit can lead to a 5% annual decrease in efficiency. As a result, if you want your AC unit to perform smoothly, get it serviced regularly based on your usage. Monthly cleaning or replacement of air filters is recommended.
