Honest Repair vs. Replace Guidance

Use the "5,000 rule": multiply repair cost by the system's age. If the number exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually smarter.

  • 8-year-old system + $400 repair = $3,200 → Repair
  • 12-year-old system + $600 repair = $7,200 → Consider replacing
  • 15-year-old system + $800 repair = $12,000 → Replace
