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

The $5,000 rule says: multiply your system’s age (years) by the repair cost. If the result exceeds $5,000, consider replacement; if it’s less, repair often makes sense. Treat it as a rule of thumb, not a final answer. CM Heating will confirm after on-site diagnostics and a firm quote. We serve Everett, Seattle, and nearby communities, and can review efficiency upgrades, rebates, and maintenance options.
