What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair And Replacement?
The $5,000 rule is a simple repair-versus-replacement guideline. Multiply your HVAC system’s age (years) by the repair estimate (dollars). If that product exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the better long-term choice. If it’s $5,000 or less, repair often makes sense. It’s only a rule of thumb. Kaminer’s technicians complete thorough diagnostics and give transparent pricing so you can compare options in Columbia, Lexington, and nearby.
