Repair vs. Replace: What Age Means for Your Leander HVAC
Georgetown's extreme heat shortens HVAC system life compared to moderate climates. Here's our honest framework, including when we recommend replacement even when repair makes us more money short-term.
💡 Georgetown Rule of Thumb: Georgetown's 100°F+ summers age HVAC systems faster than national averages. A 12-year-old system in Georgetown has experienced significantly more thermal stress than a 12-year-old system in Denver. Factor climate into your repair-vs-replace decision.
We'll always give you our honest recommendation, including when replacement makes more financial sense for you.
Full Guide: Repair vs Replace →| System Age | Repair Under $500 | $500-$1,200 | $1,200+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 5 years | ✓ Repair | ✓ Repair | ⚠ Consider |
| 5-10 years | ✓ Repair | ⚠ Consider | ✗ Replace |
| 10-15 years | ✓ Repair | ⚠ Consider | ✗ Replace |
| 15+ years | ⚠ Consider | ✗ Replace | ✗ Replace |
| R-22 System (any age) | ⚠ Evaluate | ✗ Replace | ✗ Replace |
* R-22 refrigerant is no longer manufactured. Any R-22 leak now requires expensive reclaimed refrigerant or system replacement. Factor this into your decision.
Why Leander HVAC Systems Face Unique Challenges
Georgetown's environment creates specific HVAC stress patterns. We factor all of these into every diagnosis and recommendation.
Extreme Summer Heat: 100-106°F
Georgetown regularly exceeds 100°F for extended stretches in July and August. This forces AC systems to operate at maximum capacity for weeks, stressing capacitors, contactors, and compressors far beyond what northern-climate systems experience.
Hard Water: 8-12 GPG
Georgetown's Edwards Aquifer water supply runs 8-12 grains per gallon hardness. This builds calcium scale in condensate drain lines, causing emergency shutdowns and overflow damage. Quarterly drain maintenance is essential in Georgetown.
Severe Weather Surge Damage
Central Texas averages 60+ thunderstorm days per year, with severe storms producing lightning strikes and power surges that damage HVAC control boards and electrical components. We see a spike in post-storm repair calls every spring and summer.
Rapid New Construction
Georgetown is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, with thousands of new homes built annually, many with builder-grade HVAC equipment sized to minimum code, not Georgetown's actual heat load. We correctly diagnose and address these sizing issues.
