Repair vs Replacement Calculator
A failing camera, alarm panel or lock — fix it or swap it? Enter the repair quote, the cost of a new unit, and how old the kit is against its expected life, and get a plain Repair, Replace or Borderline verdict from the repair-cost ratio and the age ratio. Planning figures; runs in your browser.
The verdict updates instantly as you type — there is nothing to submit.
- 1It could go either way on cost & age
- 2Lean REPLACE if it is out of warranty, parts are scarce, or it has failed before
- 3Lean REPAIR if the fault is minor and the unit is otherwise sound
Indicative decision aid only — the ratios do not know your situation. Also weigh the remaining warranty, whether spare parts are still available (obsolescence), the downtime while it is out of action, and whether a repair just delays the inevitable. Verify with the installer before you decide.
