Expert Cost-Benefit Analysis: Repair or Replace?

For a Bosch Side-by-Side Refrigerator, repair decisions often hinge upon age and part failure matrices. Key components such as the compressor and control board should be evaluated based on operational history and replacement costs. Generally, if repair costs are below 70% of a new unit, repair is recommended, especially considering NYC's labor costs.

Replacement decisions should consider factors such as:

• Energy efficiency ROI, crucial in energy-conscious NYC.
• Scarcity of discontinued OEM parts affecting service life.
• Cumulative repair costs reaching thresholds that would justify replacement.
• Logistics for delivery and installation in Manhattan high-rises.
