What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair Or Replacement?
The $5,000 rule says to multiply your HVAC system’s age by the repair cost; if the result is over 5,000, replacement may be the better value. It is a guideline, not a hard rule. Buric starts with a full diagnosis, then explains repair vs. replacement options with straightforward pricing. We also offer maintenance plans and financing for larger work. We serve Ellicott City and Columbia homes and provide 24/7 emergency repair.
