FAQ

AC repair cost questions

What's the average AC repair cost?

Most AC repairs run about $150 to $650, with a national average around $360.

When should I replace instead of repair?

Consider it when the system is 10 to 15 years old or more, or the repair costs more than half the price of a new system.
