Recommendation

Repairing is likely your best option

Your score of $4,500 is below $5,000. Repairing your existing equipment remains cost-effective for your Marietta home.

When to repair
Keep your system running smoothly with targeted fixes

Age under 10 years

Systems under a decade old usually have substantial operational life remaining.

Repair cost under $500

Minor component failures like capacitors or igniters are fast, affordable fixes.

Consistent comfort levels

If temperatures and humidity remain steady, the core system remains healthy.

Active warranty coverage

Manufacturer parts warranties frequently cover replacement components.

When to replace
Upgrade for peace of mind and lower utility costs

Age over 12-15 years

Heat pumps and air conditioners lose efficiency and reliability as they pass 12 years.

Costly component failure

Compressor or heat exchanger failures often cost more than half a new unit.

Uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant

R-22 supplies are restricted and expensive, making refrigerant leaks costly.

Spiking monthly energy bills

Degraded SEER performance forces systems to run longer to maintain set temperatures.

Explore how age, costs, and efficiency ratings drive your ROI.

How age impacts your decision

In Cobb County's climate, cooling systems run thousands of hours each summer. Standard air conditioners and heat pumps last roughly 10 to 15 years with routine maintenance. If your unit is under 10 years old, repair is almost always the right choice. Past 12 years, major repairs yield diminishing returns.
