There comes a point when keeping an old system running costs more than replacing it, and pinpointing it takes honest arithmetic rather than a sales pitch. For most homes in Anniston, AL, the clues cluster: rising amp draw on a tired compressor, a heat exchanger flagged at inspection, refrigerant that keeps disappearing from an R-22 or early R-410A system, and bills that grow as comfort shrinks. When a major repair lands on equipment past the twelve-to-fifteen-year mark, it is usually a short-term patch on technology that already trails current SEER2 and AFUE standards.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
