Repair vs. Replace: What Age Means for Your Morningstar HVAC
Georgetown's extreme heat shortens HVAC system life compared to moderate climates. Here's our honest framework โ including when we recommend replacement even when repair makes us more money short-term.
๐ก Georgetown Rule of Thumb: Georgetown's 100ยฐF+ 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 โ including when replacement makes more financial sense for you.

|---|---|---|---|
| Under 5 years | โ Repair | โ Repair | โ Consider |
| 5โ10 years | โ Repair | โ Consider | โ 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 Morningstar 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: 100โ106ยฐF
Georgetown regularly exceeds 100ยฐF for extended stretches in July and August. This forces AC systems to operate at maximum capacity for weeks โ stressing capacitors, contactors, and compressors far beyond what northern-climate systems experience.
Hard Water: 8โ12 GPG
Georgetown's Edwards Aquifer water supply runs 8โ12 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 โ many with builder-grade HVAC equipment sized to minimum code, not Georgetown's actual heat load. We correctly diagnose and address these sizing issues.
What Morningstar Residents Say
Real reviews from real Morningstar customers โ specific system, specific neighborhood.
Our 2021 Rheem was struggling to cool in August. ProAir diagnosed a refrigerant undercharge from the original install โ the builder's HVAC sub had left it 15% low. Fixed the same day. What should have been done right the first time.
ProAir installed a whole-home filtration system and UV treatment. The difference in air quality is remarkable โ especially with two kids and a dog. Worth every dollar.
Upgraded from builder-grade to properly sized Carrier 2-stage. ProAir did a real load calculation โ first company that did. Our home finally reaches setpoint on the hottest days.
