How to Read It

The $5,000 Rule, Explained

1. The Math

Multiply the repair quote by the age of the system. A $500 repair on a 10-year unit lands at $5,000, right on the line.

2. Over $5,000

Leans replace. Old systems that need a big repair tend to break again soon, so you end up paying twice.

3. Under $5,000

Leans repair. Fix it, keep it running, and plan the replacement on your terms instead of in a July breakdown.

Fair Questions

Repair or Replace, Answered

It is a solid starting point, not a guarantee. Old R-22 systems get expensive to repair, efficiency gains can pay for a replacement, and how many repairs you have already paid for all move the answer. That is what a free second opinion is for.

Usually yes. A small repair on an old system is fine - just know the clock is running, and start planning the replacement so you are not caught in a heat wave.

No. Nobody here works on commission. We tell you to repair when repair is the right call, even when it is the smaller invoice.
