Repair or replace?
First confirm what failed. Then compare the complete repair scope with an equivalent installed replacement, including labor, delivery, installation, and likely follow-up costs.

The result is calculated in your browser and is not stored or transmitted. Cost and remaining-life bands are directional prompts, not universal cutoffs. The tool cannot diagnose equipment, verify a part, predict reliability, or account for every local code, warranty, access, downtime, or safety requirement.
Before deciding
- Record the complete equipment model and serial information.
- Confirm the fault and repair scope; a symptom or error code alone does not identify a failed part.
- Verify any service part using the manufacturer’s parts breakdown for the exact model and revision.
- Compare written totals on the same basis, then weigh leak history, corrosion, repeat failures, warranty, lead time, and downtime.
- Stop using equipment with an active leak or safety concern and seek qualified service.
