Should I repair it or replace it?

What CRACTT weighs

• The 50% rule and its limits

  Repair cost against replacement price is the starting point, not the whole answer.

• Remaining lifespan

  Age against typical service life for the category and model.

• Efficiency and running cost

  Newer units can pay part of their price back in energy or fuel.

• Install and disposal

  Replacement costs more than the sticker — haul-away, permits, and labor count.
