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

The $5,000 rule is a quick repair-vs-replace test. Multiply your HVAC system’s age (in years) by the quoted repair cost. If the total is over $5,000, replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice. If it’s under $5,000, a repair often makes sense. Creeks performs repairs, replacements, refrigerant leak repair and recharge, duct and thermostat work, and mini‑split service. Emergency service is available. Our Residential Maintenance Plan includes a 10% discount on repairs and no overtime charges. We serve Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
