The Rule of $5,000 is a helpful starting point, but there are other factors to consider
when deciding whether to repair or replace, including:
Signs to Repair
- Your system has an active warranty. (The cost to repair might be covered.)
- Your system is under 10 years old.
- Your system has needed fewer than 3 repairs in the last 3 years.
- Your system has mostly performed well until now.
- You’re likely to move in the next 7 years.
- You’ve been satisfied overall with your current system.
- An HVAC professional has confirmed your system is the right size for my home.
- The issue is minor & easily fixed.
Signs to Replace
- Your system’s warranty has expired.
- Your system is over 10 years old.
- You’ve had your system repaired 3 or more times in the last 3 years.
- Your system has shown signs of decline, such as: • Poor air flow • Uneven comfort • Rising energy bills
- You plan on living in your home for at least 7 more years.
- You’re looking to upgrade to a more energy-efficient system.
- Your system might not be the right size to keep up with your needs (either due to improper initial install or house remodels).
