Repair or Replace Aircon?
If your aircon is giving problems, you may wonder whether to repair it or replace it. The answer depends on the age, condition, and cost of fixing it.
When to Repair Your Aircon
You can repair your aircon if:
-
It’s less than 7 years old
-
The issue is minor or uncommon
-
It still cools but has some noise or leaks
-
The repair cost is low (under 30% of a new unit)
Common repair jobs include gas top-up, drain pipe vacuum, fan motor replacement, or capacitor faults. These can often be fixed quickly and affordably.
When to Replace Your Aircon
Consider replacing the unit if:
-
It’s more than 8 to 10 years old
-
Breakdowns are frequent
-
It no longer cools even after multiple repairs
-
Major parts like the compressor or PCB are faulty
-
The repair cost is high
Newer aircon models (especially using R32 gas) are more energy-efficient and quieter. You also get a fresh warranty when installing a new system.
