Going without AC this summer is obviously out of the question, but if you’ve got a particularly old AC system – over 10-12 years old – or you’ve already had to spend thousands on repairs, chances are that it’s probably less expensive for you to just install a fresh AC system altogether.

At Hurlburt, we’d ideally like to repair your AC system rather than replace it as it’s usually the cheaper option, but if this isn’t the case and it’s irreparably damaged then we’d suggest our professional AC installation services to make sure you’ve actually got a fully functional system.

When Should I Install a New AC System?

Constantly going down the AC repair route is probably a sign that you should think about getting a new AC system since it’s only going to get worse from here – especially if you’ve got an aging system that’s been in heavy use since you’ve had it installed.

From this point onwards, natural wear and tear is obviously going to set in which makes any potential repairs you’re looking to get even more expensive, not to mention the fact that your utility bills are higher since you’re using what’s essentially just an inefficient product.

Certain little fixes that we offer like fan or filter replacements are never going to cost that much, but replacing multiple things at once (like the compressor or condenser coil) along with fixing damaged electrical components can easily exceed $1500, so it’s generally way less hassle to just replace your heating or cooling systems altogether.

We’ve been helping Mahtomedi residents with new AC system installations for over 65 years at this point, so we’ve built up more than enough experience to determine which would be the most cost-effective option for you – give us a call over at (715) 283-4422 and we’ll send a technician over to give you some clarity.
