💡 Do You Need Repair or Full Replacement?

It’s one of the most common questions we get: “Can you fix this, or do I need a new one?” The answer depends on a few factors:

  • Age of the unit (most last 8–12 years)

  • Severity of the damage (a small leak ≠ full failure)

  • Cost of repair vs. new install

  • Energy efficiency (upgrading could save you monthly)

At True Plumbers & AC, we never push replacements unless they truly make more sense for your budget or long-term value. We’ll always explain your options before doing any work.
