The 5,000 Rule — Repair or Replace?

Multiply your furnace’s age in years by the cost of the repair. If the result is under $5,000, repair usually makes sense. Over $5,000, replacement is often smarter.

Examples

  • 8-year-old furnace × $400 repair = $3,200 → Repair it
  • 14-year-old furnace × $450 repair = $6,300 → Consider replacing
  • 18-year-old furnace × $900 control board = $16,200 → Replace
  • 6-year-old furnace × $750 blower = $4,500 → Likely repair, get inspection

Always Replace (No Matter the Math)

  • Cracked heat exchanger — Carbon monoxide risk. Non-negotiable replacement.
  • Repair cost > 50% of new unit — You’re investing in aging equipment
  • Furnace is 20+ years old — Parts availability declining, efficiency badly degraded
  • Multiple failures in one season — Pattern failure, not isolated incident

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my furnace keep shutting off?

Most common causes: dirty air filter (check this first — free fix), flame sensor needs cleaning, pressure switch failure, or overheating from restricted airflow.

Is a 15-year-old furnace worth repairing?

Depends on what’s wrong. A $150 ignitor on a 15-year-old furnace is probably fine. A $800 control board puts that at $12,000 on the 5,000 Rule — suggests replacement.

Do you charge for the service call if I decide not to repair?

The diagnostic fee covers the visit and assessment. If you proceed with repair, it’s credited toward the total. If not, you owe the diagnostic fee only.
