I am evaluating converting 2 of my SS Bays to IBA. Recently, my concern is not for the first 3 years of ownership; it is the years following it. I realize that that any equipment requires diligence to keep running smoothly - - my thoughts are that the there is a tipping point when the equipment failures increase notably. Any opinions/experiences on the maintenance frequency, to include preventative, after the 'shine' is gone is greatly appreciated..
Considerations:
How much time passed after it was new before a marked amount of maintenance and labor became required for operation?
Did it level off? Or is it increasing?
What percentage of your income do you reserve for repairs/maintenance?
Do you find the labor needed to support went upward as well?
Did you project a 'useful' life for the equipment up front?
Thank you in advance!
