No, replacing the whole house central air unit is not considered to be a repair expense.
Instead, the cost of the new unit will be depreciated as a component of the home over 27.5 years. Enter the central air unit as an Asset for depreciation in the home office section. Then, a correct percentage of the 2023 depreciation deduction would be taken as a home office expense.
