AC Repair vs. Replacement: What’s the Smarter Choice?
If your air conditioner is over 10 years old, needs frequent repairs or struggles to maintain a consistent temperature, replacement may be the more cost-effective option. Studies show that replacing an outdated air conditioner can cut cooling costs by up to 40%. While minor repairs might seem like the cheaper route, ongoing issues can result in higher utility bills and costly breakdowns. At Douglas Mechanical, Inc., our certified technicians perform a comprehensive in-home estimate to determine whether repairing or replacing your AC system is the best financial and long-term decision. Plus, with our Price Match Guarantee, you can be sure you’re getting the best deal for your investment.
AC Replacement: Duct vs. Ductless: Which System is Right for You?
Not all AC replacements are created equal. Traditional ducted systems work well for larger homes but can lose up to 30% of energy through leaky ducts. On the other hand, ductless mini-splits provide zoned cooling, higher efficiency and a faster installation time. A ductless AC system may be your most cost-effective solution if you have an older home without existing ductwork. Whether you need a central AC upgrade or a ductless system, we’re here to provide custom cooling solutions tailored to your home’s needs.
