AC Repair vs. Replacement: Why the $5,000 Rule Doesn’t Make Sense

Описание: Should you repair your AC system or replace it? A lot of homeowners are told to use the $5,000 rule to make that decision. But in today’s economy, that rule can be misleading and expensive.

In this video, we break down why the $5,000 rule doesn’t always make sense anymore, how equipment costs and repair prices have changed, and what homeowners should actually be looking at before replacing their HVAC system.

We explain:
• What the $5,000 rule is and why it’s so commonly used
• Why modern warranties matter more than ever
• Why systems under 10 years old are usually worth repairing
• How we look at repair vs replacement using our “12 and 12” approach
• Why choosing the right contractor matters just as much as the rule itself

If your HVAC system is failing and you’re stuck between repairing or replacing, this video will help you make a smarter, more confident decision.
