What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC And How Does It Affect Costs?
The $5,000 rule is a repair-vs-replace guideline. Multiply system age (years) by the repair estimate (dollars). If the product is over $5,000, replacement often makes more sense; if under, repair may be reasonable. Exact costs depend on an in-home inspection. In Bloomington and nearby, we provide upfront pricing before work starts and 24/7 emergency service. New installations include a 1-year labor warranty, and parts carry manufacturer warranties.
