I don't really know but unless you are in the backwoods somewhere it shouldn't run that much. I put my mom's in probably 10 years ago. It starts and runs for an hour once a week and has been a life saver(literally) on many occasions. I don't remember what it cost but that money has been recouped several times over and if it crapped the bed today I would go buy a new one and install it. The upside to replacing one is that you wouldn't have to replace the ATS. That's a large part of the expense.
