What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair And Replacement?
The $5,000 rule is a simple guideline: multiply your HVAC system’s age (in years) by the repair cost. If the total is over $5,000, replacement is often the better value. If it’s under $5,000, a repair may make sense. Our techs can confirm with on‑site diagnostics and present clear options. We offer a $75 A/C repair diagnostic, and if we do the work, we waive the diagnostic charge. Service available in Elgin and across Bastrop County.
