What is the $5000 rule for HVAC repair and replacement?

The $5,000 rule is a guideline: multiply your HVAC system’s age by the repair cost. If age × repair cost is over $5,000, replacement often makes more financial sense. If it’s under $5,000, repairing may be reasonable.

Quick checks:

• Get a written repair estimate after on-site diagnostics.
• Compare with a replacement quote and warranty options.
• Consider reliability and energy savings goals.
