How the calculator works
Emergency repair exposure
Estimated using industry-average equipment failure rates weighted by your property age. Older properties have higher failure risk across HVAC, water heaters, and plumbing.
Preventable with alerts
Based on the ~68% of emergency repairs that stem from end-of-life equipment — the failures predictive alerts can catch 1–2 years in advance.
Net savings estimate
Preventable costs minus the annual cost of a Landlord Warden subscription. Most landlords see 800–1,200% ROI in the first prevented emergency.
Industry benchmarks used
- Average HVAC replacement cost: $4,500–$6,000
- Average water heater replacement: $1,200 planned vs $5,000–$8,000 emergency (with water damage)
- Average roof replacement: $8,000–$15,000
- Emergency repair premium over planned: 3.2× average
- Preventable failures via predictive monitoring: ~68%
Note: These are estimates based on national averages. Actual costs vary by region, property condition, and contractor rates. The calculator is intended for planning purposes.
