Repair or replace?

A simple way to decide.

4 min read

When something breaks, the choice between repairing and replacing isn't always obvious.

Consider

  • Age compared with typical lifespan
  • Repair cost compared with replacement cost
  • How often it has needed repairs
  • Energy savings from a newer model
  • Safety concerns, which favor replacement
