To repair or replace, that is the question that likely comes to mind whenever your furnace stops working as it should. Repairing may be the most affordable solution now, but it might not be the best choice over the long run.
Here are some tips to help you make the decision…
Consider the Repair Cost & Age of the Heating and Cooling System:
The Fifty Percent Rule
When the cost of repairs approaches 50% of the value of your heating or cooling system, it’s generally time to replace the system.
How old is the heating or cooling system?
Even if needed repair costs aren’t as daunting as 50%, you might want to replace your system if it’s more than 12 years old or you’ve had a history of problems with it.
