The 50% Rule of Appliance Repair
Deciding whether to repair or replace a home appliance comes down to age, original unit value, and upfront repair estimate transparency.
If the appliance is less than 8 years old and the repair cost is under 50% of the price of a brand-new equivalent model, repair is almost always the smarter financial investment.
