HomeRepairMath Puts a Number on the Repair-or-Replace Question

Field notes

The central model combines appliance age, repair price, replacement price, condition, and recent repair history into a weighted planning index, then exposes the factors that changed the result. Its sample output includes a “Borderline” recommendation, a 46/100 replacement-pressure score, and a comparison against a typical-life benchmark. The site also separates financial screening from hazards such as active leaks, combustion concerns, electrical damage, and refrigerant problems.
