The heat exchanger is typically the most expensive furnace component to repair or replace. A cracked heat exchanger can allow combustion gases to enter living spaces, making it a safety-critical fix. In many cases, the repair cost approaches the price of a new system, and a licensed technician can help you weigh both options.

Simple tasks like replacing a clogged air filter or resetting a tripped breaker are safe DIY steps. However, repairs involving gas lines, heat exchangers, electrical components, or refrigerant require a licensed HVAC technician. In Florida, unlicensed HVAC work can void manufacturer warranties and create safety and code compliance issues.

The most common issue we see in the Bloomingdale area is capacitor and contactor failure on systems that are 15 to 20 years old.

The $5,000 rule helps you decide between repairing and replacing your AC. Multiply your system’s age by the repair cost, and if the result exceeds $5,000, replacement usually makes more sense. In Valrico, where most homes were built in the 1980s to 2000s, many AC systems are 15-20 years old. A $400 repair on a 15-year-old unit hits $6,000, making a new system the smarter investment. Our Valrico technicians will run the numbers with you on the spot and give you an honest recommendation.

Valrico homeowners powered by TECO can see real savings on their electric bill with regular maintenance.

Usually not. Most AC systems in Florida last 10 to 15 years because of the heavy use. A 15-year-old unit is at end of life, uses more electricity, and probably runs on R-22 refrigerant which is no longer manufactured and very expensive to recharge. In Valrico, where concrete block homes hold heat, an inefficient system hits your TECO bill especially hard. If the repair is under $300 and buys you time, that can make sense. But for anything bigger, a new high-efficiency system will save you $50 to $100 a month on electric and comes with a 10-year warranty.

R-410A is the refrigerant in most systems built before 2025. A2L refrigerants like R-32 and R-454B are the newer lower-GWP standard now required in new equipment. If your system uses R-410A and needs refrigerant, supply is still available but costs are rising as production phases down.
