Repair or replace?
Age of your system
Air conditioners and heat pumps last an average of 10 to 12 years, while furnaces have a life span of around 15 to 20 years. If your equipment is within those ranges, expect more repairs in the near future.
Outdated technology
Technology changes all the time. This is as true for your heating and cooling system as it is for your phone. By replacing aging equipment, you’ll be able to take advantage of smart new features and increased efficiencies that can save you money on your utility bills.
Cost of repairs
As a good rule of thumb, Consumer Reports recommends replacing a product when repairs exceed 50% of the cost of a new one.
Tax credits and Rebates
Purchasing high-efficiency systems can make you eligible for state and local tax credits. Along with the SWEPCO's Texas Residential Standard Offer program.
