The decision depends on your system’s age, the repair cost, and its overall condition. A good rule of thumb is the 5,000 rule: multiply your system’s age by the repair cost—if it’s under 5,000, repair makes sense; over 5,000, consider replacement.
For example, if your 8-year-old system needs a $400 repair (8 x $400 = $3,200), repair is typically the better choice. But if your 15-year-old system needs an $800 repair (15 x $800 = $12,000), replacement might be smarter.
We also consider factors like energy efficiency, reliability, and whether you’re facing repeated repairs. Our technicians provide honest recommendations based on what’s truly best for your situation, not what generates the highest bill.
