What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair Or Replacement?

The “$5,000 rule” is a homeowner guideline that weighs your HVAC system’s age against the repair estimate to help decide whether to repair or replace. Our Glendale Heights team confirms the best option after a full diagnostic, then explains choices with upfront pricing. We repair furnaces, ACs, heat pumps, and mini-splits, and offer 24/7 emergency service with well-stocked trucks.

Quick checks:

• Know your system’s age.
• Get a written repair estimate after diagnostics.
• Compare repair vs. replacement options, warranties, and efficiency.
