What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair Or Replacement?
The “$5,000 rule” is a quick HVAC decision shortcut: multiply your system’s age (years) by the repair cost. If the result is over $5,000, replacement is usually wiser. If it’s under $5,000, repair often makes sense. It’s only a guideline. Ask for a thorough diagnostic, efficiency comparisons, and any warranty considerations before deciding. Guaranteed Service provides detailed inspections and same‑day options.
