Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
The $5,000 rule is a guideline to help homeowners decide whether to repair or replace their HVAC system. You multiply the age of your unit by the cost of the needed repair. If that number exceeds $5,000, replacing your HVAC system is often more cost-effective.

Most HVAC companies calculate their prices using one of two pricing models: Hourly Rate (Time & Materials), where costs are based on time spent and materials used, or Flat-Rate, which charges one fixed rate for a service instead of charging by the hour and materials used.
