Decision tool

Repair or replace decision builder

Organize the facts that matter before comparing another repair with a designed replacement. The tool shows its reasoning instead of hiding it in a sales score.

Diagnosis I have the failed part and underlying cause in writing. The recommendation includes relevant measurements, not only an age or price rule. I know the repair warranty and what happens if the same symptom returns.

Reasons another repair may be reasonable The failure is isolated and the rest of the system is in documented condition. The system met comfort and humidity needs before this failure. The needed part and refrigerant support are available with a useful warranty.

Reasons to price a replacement carefully Failures, leaks, or major repairs are repeating. The system had unresolved comfort, humidity, airflow, or noise problems before it failed. A replacement proposal includes load work, matched equipment, ducts/returns, controls, drainage, electrical, permits, and startup records.

Check only statements you can support with records or measurements.
