Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

Great question, it all depends on your air conditioners maintenance and usage. Typically, units can last around 10 years. Most homeowners will replace a R-22 freon unit when it is leaking at one of the components. The worldwide Montreal Protocol began phasing out the production of R-22 freon units in 2003, with a full ban on imports of R-22 freon on January 1st, 2020.

Does HVAC need maintenance?

Yes, much more than your normal appliances. HVAC needs maintenance to keep your air conditioning running efficiently and properly and to prevent it from breaking.
