Your air conditioning just died. The repair quote is $800-$2,000. Is it worth fixing, or should you replace the whole system? The answer depends on your system's age, the cost of repair, and the substantial rebates available for replacement in NJ.
The Repair vs Replace Decision

Use this simple rule: if the repair cost is more than 50% of the cost of a new system (after rebates), replace it. For example, if a repair costs $1,500 and a new heat pump costs $12,000 before rebates but only $0-$2,000 after PSE&G rebates, replacement is clearly the better investment. You get a new system with a full warranty, lower energy bills, and both heating and cooling in one unit.
