Balch Springs FAQ

Is there a hard age cutoff where replacement always makes sense?+

No. Age matters, but it's the combination of age, repair cost, and repair history that actually drives the decision, not a single cutoff number.

Will a repair company always push me toward replacement?+

Some do, since replacement is more profitable. That's exactly why getting a second opinion is worth it if a replacement recommendation doesn't sit right with you.
