When Repair Costs More Than It's Worth

Use the "5,000 rule": multiply the system's age by the repair cost. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the smarter investment. For example, a 12-year-old system needing a $500 repair ($6,000) is approaching replacement territory. A compressor replacement on an older system almost always makes full replacement more economical.
