đź’¸ One of the most expensive issues a homeowner can face? A failing HVAC unit.
The “$5,000 Rule” is a handy guideline:
If the repair cost multiplied by age of the unit exceeds $5,000, it’s usually more cost-effective to replace rather than repair.
To keep your system running smoothly and extend its lifespan, follow these simple tips:
âś… Schedule regular professional maintenance
âś… Replace or clean air filters
âś… Install a smart thermostat
âś… Keep the condensing unit clean
âś… Consider having your ducts professionally cleaned
A little upkeep goes a long way—routine maintenance now can help avoid major costs down the road!
