How to use this result

Use the result with condition, reliability, safety, parts support and downtime—not as an automatic purchase decision.

Repair path

Immediate repair plus the entered annual repair allowance across the comparison period.

Replacement path

Installed replacement plus maintenance less the entered end-of-period residual value.

Important: Do not keep damaged or unsafe equipment in service because the repair path appears cheaper. Qualified inspection and control of defects come first.
