A common question we get from homeowners is, “When does my heating system need a tune-up, a repair, or a replacement?” The first part of the question is easy: heating systems need maintenance every year. And unfortunately, a tune-up is not sufficient for a neglected heating system that needs repair. It’s knowing when to invest in a heating repair vs investing in a new system that gets tricky.
Homeowners can always count on us for a personal and professional opinion on this. However, there are some general guidelines that will clarify this dilemma for homeowners. Let’s dive into the topic of when to repair, when to tune up, and when to opt for a heating replacement in Cumming, GA.
When should you tune up, repair, or replace your heating system?

- Repair: If the system is relatively new and the repair cost is minor, a fix is often the best value.
- Replace: Use the $5,000 rule, multiply the system’s age by the repair cost. If it exceeds $5,000 or the repair is more than half the cost of a new system, replacement is the smarter option.
