Repair vs. Replace: What Age Means for Your Teravista 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Under 5 years | ✓ Repair | ✓ Repair | ⚠ Consider |
| 5–10 years | ✓ Repair | ⚠ Consider | ✗ 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 Teravista 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.
What Teravista Residents Say
Real reviews from real Teravista customers — specific system, specific neighborhood.
Called at 8 AM, tech arrived by 10:30. Capacitor failure diagnosed and replaced by 11. Our 2008 Lennox is running great. Honest, fast, reasonable pricing.
Full replacement of our 2004 Goodman. ProAir was thorough — they found a duct leak that the old system had been fighting for years. Fixed it during the install. Worth every penny.
Annual maintenance plan customer for 3 years. Always thorough, always on time, always find something small before it becomes big. That's the value of preventive maintenance.
Teravista: Multiple Builders, Multiple HVAC Lineages — What That Means for Repairs
Teravista was built out by multiple builders over roughly a decade — DR Horton, Meritage, Taylor Morrison, and others — which means the community has no single HVAC equipment lineage. A Teravista home built in 2006 might have a Carrier system; one built in 2013 three streets over might have a Rheem or Goodman install. This variety matters for parts availability and diagnosis. More significantly, Teravista's location on Williamson County's expansive clay soils means foundation movement is a documented fact in homes across the community, particularly those built before tighter slab specifications became standard. We consistently find partially disconnected flex duct connections in Teravista attics — supply boots that pulled loose from grille boots as slabs shifted. If you have a room in your Teravista home that never reaches setpoint regardless of runtime, a duct inspection is the right first diagnostic step before replacing any equipment.
Duct Inspection & Sealing →Teravista’s Mixed-Era Systems: What Changes Between 2003 and 2020 Builds
A decade-plus build-out by multiple builders means Teravista homes contain four distinct HVAC generations under one community name. The year your home was built largely determines which failure patterns to expect.
2003–2008 Builds: R-22 Systems Approaching End-of-Life
Early Teravista homes built by the original DR Horton phases commonly have R-22 Carrier and Rheem systems that are now 17–21 years old. R-22 was phased out in 2020 — a recharge now costs $150–$250 per pound if refrigerant can even be sourced. A leak on a 2005 system is a replacement conversation, not a repair. We give you the honest math.
2009–2014 Builds: Duct Disconnects from Slab Movement
Teravista homes from the mid-build period sit on Williamson County clay soils that shift with seasonal moisture cycles. Supply boots pulling loose from grille boots — sometimes 2–4 inches of separation in an attic flex duct run — are the most common hidden cause of rooms that never cool properly. This is a duct inspection issue before it is ever an equipment issue.
2015–2020 Builds: Builder-Grade Sizing Under Georgetown’s Heat Load
Taylor Morrison and Meritage homes from Teravista’s later phases were typically equipped to minimum code — sized for a design temperature of 97–98°F when Georgetown regularly hits 103–106°F for weeks. If your system runs continuously in August and still can’t reach setpoint, undersizing by half a ton or more is a real possibility. A Manual J load calculation confirms it.
Any Era: Capacitor and Contactor Wear from Continuous Runtime
Regardless of build year, Teravista systems run long hours during Central Texas summers. Capacitors and contactors are wear items that fail at predictable intervals — typically 5–8 years on systems running 2,000–3,000 hours per cooling season. We check these on every diagnostic call because a borderline capacitor found during a tune-up is a $90 repair; one that fails mid-July in a heat wave is an emergency call.
