How to Choose Between Repair and Replacement

- When equipment age remains below 10 years it is generally better to perform repairs than initiate a new purchase.
- A regular series of machine failures suggests moving to a newer unit will work out more economically in the long run.
- Power bills remain high which means you should consider an upgrade to a more effective system.
