Should You Repair or Replace your HVAC Equipment?
Repairing or replacing your HVAC equipment is a big decision. Repairing an aging unit could cost you more in the long run, but just because your unit needs repairs doesn't mean it's days are numbered.
What is the $5,000 rule?
There is a basic industry guideline - the $5,000 rule. Multiply the cost of repairs by the age of your equipment. If the result is over $5,000, you may want to consider a replacement.
This is a quick, basic estimate - the best way to determine your next course of action is to have an experienced technician examine your equipment. We recommend applying the $5,000 rule to equipment 12 years or older. It is a general guideline - the average HVAC system lasts 12-15 years.
