What Is The $5000 Rule For HVAC And How Does It Affect Costs?
The “$5,000 rule” is a common heuristic, but we don’t use one-size-fits-all math. We inspect your system and provide upfront repair vs. replacement options. Costs depend on age, efficiency, needed parts, and past breakdowns. In Ashburn and Warrenton, we offer $49 AC and heat pump or gas furnace safety inspections to inform the decision. MVP members save 15% on service repairs. We also provide free estimates for new heat pump systems.
- Quick check: Schedule a $49 safety inspection, then compare repair vs. replacement with our upfront pricing.
