How We Decide the Next Step
Repair first when the failure is isolated
A failed common part, dirty coil, drain issue, or control fault is usually a repair conversation before it is a replacement conversation.
Discuss replacement when the system is compounding failures

Do not size equipment by guesswork
For installation or replacement, load, ductwork, room comfort, and equipment placement matter more than simply matching the old unit.
