Lepard Brothers Heating & Cooling, Inc. of Aberdeen Maryland is your local air conditioning repair and replacement company!
The first thing that needs to be determined is the cost of repairs. Call us and request a diagnostic service visit. Our technician will be dispatched to your home and use tools, meters, and other diagnostic equipment to determine the problem and present you with a solution and associated repair costs.
Once a dollar amount is put on the repair, we can then help you determine if repair or replacement is best by offering you a professional recommendation based on:
1. the repair cost
2. the age, condition, and efficiency of your existing equipment
3. the length of time you plan on living in the home
These factors can help determine if a repair is more cost effective.
“An air conditioner should last about 15 years. If a system that’s more than a decade old begins to falter, consider total replacement of inside and outside units rather than a major repair. Usually only one of the system’s major components–coil or compressor–fails, but it’s usually more cost-effective to replace the whole system at once. Unmatched major components can compromise efficiency and lead to added repairs."
