Repair or replace

Make the decision with more than a 50% rule.

We factor in age, repair history, your market, condition, current quote, and how much useful life may be left.

What kind of market are you in?

This keeps the comparison from treating every area like it costs the same.

    What KODU looks at

    A repair decision is a household budget decision.

    The goal is to make the tradeoffs easy to digest before you spend more money.

    01

    Useful life remaining

    Age matters, but it isn’t an automatic replacement trigger. A well-maintained item can outlast an average, while repeat failures can shorten the practical horizon.

    02

    Repair history

    The first repair may be reasonable even later in life. Multiple recent repairs change the math because you’re paying for uncertainty as well as today’s fix.

    03

    Local market cost

    Service-call rates and labor costs vary. We apply a directional market adjustment so a quote isn’t judged against a single national number.

    04

    Replacement inflation

    Replacement cost includes the reality that new equipment, delivery, installation, and disposal can make “just replace it” far more expensive than the sticker price.

    05

    Quote transparency

    Upload a quote to identify total price, potential service fees, labor, parts, tax, and other visible charges before you compare it with a replacement.

    06

    Warranty before spend

    If a manufacturer or service-plan warranty may apply, check that first. Paying out of pocket before verifying coverage can be an avoidable expense.

    Warranty check

    Check coverage before you pay.

    Brand, model, serial number, and purchase date are usually enough to start.

    Month and year are enough.

    KODU does not determine actual coverage; the manufacturer or warranty provider makes that decision.
