What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair Or Replacement?
The “$5,000 rule” is a homeowner guideline: multiply your system’s age by the quoted repair cost. If the total exceeds 5,000, replacement is often considered. If it’s under 5,000, repair may make sense. It’s not our policy; we diagnose, present clear pricing, and advise you on repair vs. replacement. We service Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and more, and offer 24/7 emergency help.
