The AC 5000 Rule is a trap

from Cool Talk with Hartzell's | Your HVAC Questions, Answered!

Give Use A ShoutEvery May and June I have the same conversation across kitchen tables in Kingfisher and Canadian County. The AC is 12 years old, the compressor is making noise, the repair quote is around 1800 dollars, and the homeowner asks me what I would actually do. Here is the math I use in the field. I walk through the real cost of repair, the real cost of replace, the age and refrigerant facts that change the answer, and how I help homeowners decide without the sales pressure most companies in Oklahoma City pile on.
