Why Is My House Still Humid With the AC Running?
The general rule: repair your AC if it's under 10 years old and the fix costs less than roughly a third of a new system; replace it if it's 12–15+ years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, or needs a major component like a compressor. In our humid Louisiana climate, systems typically last 10–15 years, shorter than the national average. Efficiency, repair frequency, and comfort all factor into the right decision.
