Expert Cost-Benefit Analysis: Repair or Replace?

When evaluating your Bosch French Door Refrigerator, consider its age and the typical failure rates of components such as the compressor, control board, and sealed system parts. Repair costs often scale with these factors, typically maintaining a ratio well below the cost of full replacement, especially when labor is factored in.

Replacement decisions hinge on factors such as energy efficiency ROI, availability of OEM parts, and cumulative repair costs exceeding 70% of a new unit. Additionally, in Manhattan, delivery and installation logistics for high-rise buildings increase complexity, influencing your choice significantly.

• Evaluate energy efficiency ROI per kWh with replacement units.
• Availability of discontinued parts can hinder repair feasibility.
• Cumulative repair costs approach replacement thresholds sets the decision point.
• Logistics for installation in NYC high-rises can add significant coordination efforts.
