What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC Repair Or Replacement?
The “$5,000 rule” is a rule of thumb that multiplies a system’s age by the repair cost to guide repair vs. replacement. We don’t rely on that shortcut. We evaluate your unit after on-site diagnostics, then compare age, quoted repair, reliability, safety, and efficiency. Lucky’s Comfort Club adds priority service and a high‑performance tune‑up. We serve Novato, San Rafael, Petaluma, and nearby Northern California homes.
