Blowing warm air, or no cooling at all
Often a capacitor, a refrigerant issue or a failing compressor. The first two are usually repairs. The third changes the math.

What's Your System Doing?
Every one of these has more than one possible cause. Some are quick fixes. Some are a sign the system is near the end. Here's how we tend to read them.
No heat
Ignition, thermostat or a cracked heat exchanger. Worth a look before the first cold night.
Depends on the causeWeak airflow, or rooms that never feel right
Frequently ductwork, a blower or a system that was never sized for the house.
Often repairableGrinding, squealing or banging
Noise is the system asking for attention early. Catching it now is cheaper than catching it later.
Call soonTurning on and off constantly
Short cycling wears parts out fast and drives bills up. It rarely fixes itself.
Depends on the causeEnergy bills keep climbing
An aging system works harder for the same result. Sometimes a tune-up helps. Sometimes it's time.
Worth a replacement talkIt's 12 to 15+ years old
Not a problem by itself. But it changes what any repair is worth.
Worth a replacement talkSomeone already said it needs replacing
Maybe. Get a second look before you sign anything.

The honest answer
Repair If It Makes Sense. Replace If It Makes Sense.
A broken system does not automatically mean a new system. But there is a point where putting money into an old one costs more than it saves. Here's how we think about it. It's the same conversation we'll have at your kitchen table.
Loomis, CA
Repair usually wins when
- The system is under about 10 years old
- This is the first or second repair
- The fix is a smaller part: capacitor, contactor, thermostat, blower motor
- Comfort and bills were fine until now
Replacement is worth a real conversation when
- It's 12 to 15+ years old
- Repairs keep coming, or this one is major: compressor, coil, heat exchanger
- It runs on R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced in the U.S. and costs more to recharge every year
- Rooms never feel right, or bills keep rising
- The repair quote is close to half the cost of a new system
A quick rule of thumbRepair quote × system age
Over $5,000, replacement usually wins. Under it, repair usually does. It's a starting point, not the whole answer. We'll walk you through the real numbers for your house, including what waiting is likely to cost.

If another company told you it's time for a whole new system, they may be right. They may not be. We'll test the system, show you what we find and tell you straight. Sometimes it really is time. Sometimes it's a small part. Either way, you'll know before you spend the money.

Questions
Straight Answers, Before You Call.
And if your question isn't here, that's fine too. Ask us on the phone.
My HVAC stopped working. Should I call even if I don't know what's wrong?
Yes. You don't need to diagnose anything. Tell us what the system is doing, or not doing, and we'll figure out the right next step from there.
Does Senga handle both repairs and replacements?
Yes. We'll recommend whichever one actually makes sense for your system and your budget, and we'll explain why. You don't have to decide which you need before you call.
How do I know when it's time to replace my system?
Age is one factor, not the only one. Repeated repairs, a major component failure, rising bills, uneven temperatures and R-22 refrigerant all push toward replacement. A quick rule of thumb: if the repair quote multiplied by the system's age is over $5,000, replacing usually makes more sense. We'll walk through the real numbers with you.
What is the Senga Comfort Plan?
A $0-down way to get a brand-new, high-efficiency system with installation, maintenance and covered repairs included, for one predictable monthly payment. It's powered by Palmetto and available to eligible homeowners. Checking your options is a soft credit inquiry, so it won't affect your credit score.
Which type of system should I get?
It depends on your home, your ductwork, how you use your space, your comfort preferences and your budget. We'll narrow it down with you. You don't need to become an HVAC expert first.
Can I get just a second opinion?
Yes. If you've been quoted an expensive repair or a full replacement, we'll take another look and tell you what we find before you decide.
Where does Senga work?
El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Cameron Park, Placerville, Granite Bay, Roseville, Rocklin, Sacramento and communities across the foothills and greater Sacramento. If you're nearby and not sure, call and ask.
