REPAIR OR REPLACE
Make the HVAC decision
with evidence.
Age is not a verdict. A useful comparison connects condition, repair history, the documented fault and the complete installed scope—then makes the trade-offs visible.
FREE PLANNING TOOL
No age rule.
No pressure tactic.
The planner asks for five pieces of evidence, stores no personal details and points to the next decision—not a preselected sale.
COMPARE THE COMPLETE DECISION
What belongs on both sides.
A repair and a replacement are different scopes. Make each clear enough that the decision can survive a second look.

QUESTIONS WORTH ANSWERING
Before a major HVAC decision.
These are the boundaries that keep a planning tool useful and honest.
Does equipment age decide whether I should replace it?
No. Age matters alongside safety, diagnosis, repair history, part support, comfort, efficiency, warranty and the complete installed replacement scope.
Can this planner diagnose my HVAC system?
No. It organizes decision evidence supplied by the user. A qualified professional must diagnose the specific equipment and property.
What should a replacement comparison include?
Applicable equipment, labour, controls, electrical, fuel or refrigerant work, venting, drainage, duct transitions, permits, removal, commissioning, warranty and customer responsibilities should be stated.
Should I include a rebate in the replacement budget?
Only after verifying the current official program, customer, property, equipment, contractor, pre-approval and deadline requirements. A potential rebate is not guaranteed payment.
Independent decision guidance
External sources can supply general replacement and safety context. The specific equipment still requires property-level diagnosis.
