What the Quiz Covers

  • System age — the single biggest factor in repair vs. replace decisions
  • Repair cost — how the quoted repair compares to replacement value
  • Refrigerant type — R-22 changes the math significantly
  • Repair history — recurring repairs signal end-of-life
  • Comfort performance — whether the system is actually doing its job
  • Energy bills — rising bills often mean a declining system
  • How long you're staying — affects payback period on new equipment

The quiz outputs one of 4 results with specific reasoning, a score bar, and direct CTAs to book service or get a free estimate.

🤔 Should I Repair or Replace My AC?

Answer 7 questions about your system to get an instant personalized recommendation — with specific reasoning and next steps.

Question 1 of 7

When Does Repair Make Sense?

As a general rule, repair is the right call when:

  • System is under 8 years old — still well within Texas AC lifespan, repair almost always wins
  • Repair cost is under $600 — capacitor, contactor, drain line, refrigerant leak on a newer system
  • System uses R-410A or R-454B — refrigerant recharge is affordable ($100–$150/lb)
  • First significant repair — no pattern of recurring failures yet
  • System is cooling well — just this one issue, not general decline

For most Spring TX homes with systems under 10 years old facing a minor to moderate repair — fix it. The math is clear.

When Does Replacement Make Sense?

  • System is 12–15+ years old — past typical Texas AC lifespan
  • R-22 refrigerant + a leak — recharging costs $500–$1,500 and the leak remains
  • Repair cost over 50% of replacement cost — money better applied to new equipment
  • Multiple repairs in 2–3 years — stacking repair costs that don't stop
  • Compressor failure quote — always get a second opinion first, then compare to replacement

The energy savings case: replacing a 10 SEER system with a new 16.5 SEER2 system often saves $100–$200/month. That's $1,200–$2,400/year — before the repair cost savings.
