FAQ
Questions Equipment Replacement Analysis owners ask.
- 01
How does the capability decide when to replace equipment?
The capability uses get_replacement_recommendation to compare the increasing marginal cost of maintaining an aging asset against the annualized cost of a new unit, accounting for salvage value and inflation.
- 02
Can I compare two different replacement strategies?
Yes, you can use compare_asset_scenarios to model the long-term financial impact of different replacement ages and identify the most cost-effective path.
- 03
What inputs are required for a recommendation?
To get a recommendation, you need the current age of the equipment, maintenance cost trends, initial maintenance costs, new equipment cost, salvage value, and the escalation rate.
