Is it better to repair an AC or buy a new one?

• <div><p>There are a few factors to consider if you’re deciding between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/it-time-repair-or-replace-my-air-conditioner.htm">repairing and replacing your air conditioner</a>. It’s probably worth fixing the AC unit if it’s less than 10 years old, you’re dealing with a one-off issue, and your warranty or maintenance plan will cover the repairs. On the other hand, if your air conditioner is dated, inefficient, out of warranty, and experiencing multiple problems, consider replacing it.</p></div>

How much does it cost to replace air conditioner coils?

• <div><p>Replacing an evaporator coil costs around <b>$1,350</b> on average. The coil itself, depending on the size and brand, can cost from <b>$550 to $1,100</b>. Professional labor averages about $700 total. Note that a license is required to work with refrigerants, so it’s necessary to have an AC pro complete this task.</p></div>

Can I build a deck over my HVAC unit?

• <div><p>Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-floating-deck.htm">build a floating deck</a> in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.</p></div>

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

There are a few factors to consider if you’re deciding between repairing and replacing your air conditioner. It’s probably worth fixing the AC unit if it’s less than 10 years old, you’re dealing with a one-off issue, and your warranty or maintenance plan will cover the repairs. On the other hand, if your air conditioner is dated, inefficient, out of warranty, and experiencing multiple problems, consider replacing it.

Many HVAC manufacturers provide warranties that encompass the cost of a new compressor, with durations ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand. These warranties cover critical components such as the compressor, condenser, connecting tubing, evaporator, and refrigerant charge. Moreover, they often include the necessary labor for replacement or repairs. Keep in mind that premium-brand compressors may offer lifetime warranty options. It's essential to note that these warranties rarely cover labor costs.

Replacing an evaporator coil costs around $1,350 on average. The coil itself, depending on the size and brand, can cost from $550 to $1,100. Professional labor averages about $700 total. Note that a license is required to work with refrigerants, so it’s necessary to have an AC pro complete this task.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.

Yes, you should turn off your AC if it’s leaking. Turning off the AC will prevent more condensation from leaking from your unit, and it will also reduce the increased strain on the system if a damaged internal component or a lack of refrigerant is the culprit. As soon as you notice a leak, turn off the system and investigate the source of the leak or call a pro to inspect it.
