Replace or Repair HVAC
Hello ,
My 15 year old HVAC went down today, the motor needs to be replaced it will cost me over $400 and the refrigerant needs to be added that costs another $300 , just the diagnosis costed me over $250. How much does it cost to replace an hvac? I am confused whether to repair it or replace it with a new one appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

@Peter Morgan Are you using a Hvac repair company or a handyman? Will the company wave the diagnostic fee if you have them do the work and buy the parts through them? Can you ask them what a brand new Hvac unit will cost (unit and labor)? Compare the warranties (of the replaced motor or the brand new unit)
