An HVAC system can be one of the best investments you make in your home, providing seemingly endless hours of comfort, heating and cooling. But as with all things, over time systems wear, break down, or become less efficient. How do you know when it might be time to consider a replacement? There are some telltale signs that might help.
First, how old is your HVAC system? Often, regular maintenance or repairs can keep you in good shape, but eventually that just isn’t enough. On average, a good HVAC system should last roughly 15 years, but this depends largely on what system you installed, the installation itself, and care and maintenance over the years. Still, if you’re over a decade in and experiencing regular issues, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Second, how costly is your HVAC system? Have you noticed your bill climbing? This could be a sign of an old system having to work harder to continue running. You want an HVAC system that will be consistent, and efficient, keeping your energy costs down, and your monthly bill.
Last, does your HVAC system heat and cool consistently, or has it become erratic? Does it struggle to cool in the summer, or heat lethargically in the winter? Or maybe it runs constantly now, when it never used to. These can all be signs of a worn out system in need of replacement, and a good tech can evaluate your HVAC for you and let you know.
