My brother wants to replace or repair his HVAC unit

My brother called me the other day to ask me if he should repair his heating plan or replace the whole thing, but I think he thinks that since I work in the heating and cooling industry that I should be able to tell him exactly what to do, however the problem is, I do not know how old his heating and cooling plan entirely is, however he moved into a house with an old heating and cooling plan already installed in it.

They didn’t have much trouble with the Heating and A/C plan when they first moved in, however recently they’ve been having a lot of concerns with the furnace, since it’s Winter and the weather is genuinely cooling off outside, it’s not the greatest time for him to be having problems with his gas furnace.

I told him that he could go one of two ways with this. He could either replace the whole entire system, which is going to cost him quite a bit of money, or he can have it repaired. Since I do not live close to my brother, I can’t go out and maintain it for him free of charge or at a discount, unfortunately, he lives so far away that this kind of help for him just is not feasible. I wish that I could help him out more, but I can’t tell him all that much over the cellphone. In my opinion, I think he should just go ahead and replace the whole Heating and A/C system! At least that way he will think about what he has and how old it is. At least I can give him some recommendations on a new Heating and A/C system.
