π‘ Would you repair your HVAC system... or replace it?
One rule of thumb some HVAC professionals use is the $5,000 Rule.
Here's how it works:
β
Multiply the age of your heating or cooling system by the estimated repair cost.
β’ Under $5,000? A repair may be worth considering.
β’ Over $5,000? It may be worth discussing replacement options with an HVAC professional.
Examples:
β’ 8 years Γ $400 repair = $3,200
β’ 15 years Γ $500 repair = $7,500
π‘ Keep in mind: The $5,000 Rule is only a guideline, not a guarantee. Every home and HVAC system is different, so factors like your equipment's condition, energy efficiency, repair history, and your budget should also be considered.
