What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC And How Does It Affect Costs?

The “$5000 rule” is a homeowner rule of thumb to weigh repair vs. replacement, but your actual cost decision should follow a professional diagnosis. We start with a full system check, explain the cause, and provide a clear, upfront quote. We factor in system age, the failed component, efficiency, warranties, and your comfort goals. If you approve, we make lasting repairs with quality parts and test the system. 24/7 emergency service is available in Dayton and nearby.
