Repair or Replace? The $5,000 Rule

📊 Quick Decision Formula

Multiply your system’s age (years) × repair cost ($). If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is generally the better investment.

Example: 12-year-old system × $500 repair = $6,000 → Consider replacement.

Also Consider:

Is the refrigerant R-22 (Freon)? Being phased out in Canada — increasingly expensive
Has the system needed multiple repairs in the past 2–3 years?
Is the system’s efficiency rating well below current standards?
