What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair Or Replacement?
The “$5,000 rule” is a rule of thumb: multiply your HVAC system’s age by the repair cost, and if the total is over $5,000, many homeowners lean toward replacement. We don’t rely on one-size-fits-all rules. A NATE-certified Wisler technician will assess safety, efficiency, refrigerant type, warranty, and repair options on site. We provide 24/7 emergency HVAC repair across Rocky Mount and Roanoke. Diamond Club members get 10% off repairs and priority service.
