When does replacement beat repair?
Three triggers usually tip the math toward replacement: the system is past 12 years old, it uses R-22 refrigerant, or a single repair quote exceeds 30% of replacement cost. In Florida's run-time climate, an aging unit also burns more power every month you delay — sometimes $50–$120 extra per summer month vs. a modern SEER2 unit.
- Age 12+ years (heat pump) or 15+ years (split system)
- R-22 refrigerant — increasingly costly and supply-restricted
- Repair quote above $1,500 on an older system
- Two or more major repairs in the past 24 months
What does a replacement actually include?
A full Hernando County AC replacement typically covers: outdoor condenser, indoor air handler or furnace, new line set if accessible, new thermostat, new disconnect and whip, permit, and county inspection. Duct sealing and modifications are quoted separately if needed.
