Questions
- How long does a range or oven last?
- Typically 13 to 15 years. CapexClock uses 14 years as its default, and you can change it for your building.
- When should I start saving to replace a range or oven?
- As soon as it's installed. Spreading the cost over its 13–15 year life keeps the replacement from landing as a surprise. The mini calculator on this page shows a monthly amount for yours.
- How is a range or oven priced in the calculator?
- By default it's priced per unit. Enter your own quote or recent invoice; CapexClock never fills in costs for you.
