Think AC Repair As Part of Your Monthly Budget

Today, Monday August 11th 2014 is forecast for the Phoenix Metro Area to be one-hundred-eight degrees Fahrenheit.  But the National Weather Service also list the humidity at twenty-five percent and the Dew Point at sixty degrees.

That will be a very hot and humid afternoon.  What does all that have to do with your monthly budget?  AC Repair in the Valley of the Sun is a fact of life and sooner or later you will NEED AC Repair.

If the average AC Repair is $250 to $400 (your experience can and WILL vary) and it needs to be done every three years or so you need to put away as little as $10.00 a month.  Of course you could put the repairs on a credit card with some vendors.  Having the money set aside for the repair is the most cost effective way to pay the repair.

That means having your own repair policy means funding it with, say, $20.00 a month or just $5.00 a week.  That should be doable for most everyone.  Once you have you fund up and running it could be used to cover many of the repairs needed around your house.

If you are lucky and your air conditioner last a full tens years before it need repair or replacement that means you will have set aside around $2,500 dollars and that can go toward the cost of a new AC unit if that is what you need.

Planning ahead is always a good way to budget for those household expenses you know will eventually happen. Some experts claim that the yearly cost of home ownership repairs and maintenance is five percent of your home’s value. So if you have a home that is $250,000 you will in some way need to spend an extra $10,000 per year on maintenance, repairs and upkeep.  Normally you should be maintenance free for the first five years after the purchase of a new home.

If you wonder what is included in those figures here is a partial list;
