Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace? - AC Repair & Heater Repair Services | Spring, TX

“I HIGHLY recommend them!”

The technicians at ACTexas gave me lots of options including modifying my old system (which was cheaper but just buying time). I opted to replace the entire system! My AC bills have been half what they were this time last year! They worked so hard and did an amazing job! They were very honest about the cost (no hidden fees). Angela W.

I had an excellent experience with James. He is solid guy whom you can tell loves his work. Not only did he assist me with repairing my AC...on a Sunday. He gave me priceless knowledge and he wasn't even scheduled to work. I pray this work ethic stays around for years to come. Workers like James are very hard to find. He should definitely be rewarded for all his hard work. Matthew T.

Dispatcher was able to get me same day service when my air conditioning unit stopped working. Justin conducted the repair and was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and honest about the issue. I didn’t feel like he was trying to sell me services or equipment that was not needed. The prices were very reasonable - especially since we had the repair conducted same day! I would highly recommend this company and will be using them for all future maintenance and repairs! Tricia T.

Mickey is great! He is very knowledgeable and professional and does a great job. He always texts me to let me know when he'll arrive and explains everything he's doing. He's earned our trust and we are very happy with his service. Jet E

Came out quickly and diagnosed the issue, showed me what was wrong and completed the fix. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing service. A Robinson

Working with ACTexas was a great experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend them for any HVAC work that you may need from brand new install, repair, maintenance, or just an evaluation of your current HVAC system. They have great knowledge, experience, work ethic and customer service. Ramil M

Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

As your furnace ages, and as you start to have more frequent maintenance on that furnace, you will probably stop to ask yourself whether furnace repair or furnace replacement is the best choice. This can be a difficult thing to decide for many people, simply because the cost of replacing a furnace can be quite high. So, when should you repair and when should you replace? Read on to find out.

What is the Age of the Furnace?

Is your furnace already 15 to 20 years old? If so, you've reached the maximum average lifespan for most furnaces already. People who have their furnace professionally maintained will be more likely to meet the top end of this figure, but once your furnace is a couple of decades old replacement is probably the best option simply because it won't last forever.

How Much Are You Spending on Repairs?

Are you investing a significant amount of money in furnace repair just to keep the furnace going? As those furnace breakdowns get more and more frequent, it's a sign that replacement should happen sooner rather than later. When faced with a major (and costly) repair, the best rule of thumb according to many contractors is as follows: Look at the price of a new furnace. If the repair would be half or more of that amount, go with replacement instead of repair.

Are Your Heating Bills on the Rise?

Even if your furnace may have some life left in it, the level of functioning will usually decline over the years. If you notice your heating bill steadily on the rise, it's time to think about a new furnace. Consider, for example, the fact that if your heating bill goes up several hundred dollars each year, you could pay for a new furnace in five years or so. Even if a furnace is very pricey, keep in mind that you will immediately enjoy a significant reduction in heating costs going forward, and this will continue for as long as 20 years.
