Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Replacement in Scarborough — 2026 Guide | (416) 424-4328

Knowing when to repair vs replace your AC saves Scarborough homeowners significant money. The wrong decision (replacing too early or repairing too late) costs thousands.

Signs Your Scarborough AC Needs Replacement (Not Repair)

  • System is 15+ years old with a compressor failure — Compressor replacement on a 15-year old system rarely makes financial sense
  • Running on R-22 refrigerant (Freon) — R-22 is no longer manufactured. Recharging a leaking R-22 system is extremely expensive.
  • Repair cost exceeds 40% of replacement cost — The 40% rule. A $2,000 repair on a $4,500 replacement unit: replace.
  • System has been repaired 3+ times in the last few years — End-of-life pattern

When should I replace my air conditioner in Scarborough?
