Is It Time to Replace Your HVAC Systems?

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are a big investment and you have every right to expect it to function well and last for decades, given the proper care and maintenance they require. However, even if you do take care of your HVAC system accordingly, there will come a time when it will eventually reach the end of its productive lifetime and will require a replacement.

Here are the warning signs that can signal that your HVAC system is failing and might need replacing:

INCREASING ENERGY BILLS

Heating and air conditioning systems experience wear and tear throughout their lifetime and this will eventually lower the equipment’s effectiveness and efficiency – even with regular maintenance. Older HVAC systems tend to work harder and longer just to provide the same level of comfort they once did and this leads to higher energy bills. If you notice your energy costs rising, this might be a sign that you need an upgrade to a newer and more efficient HVAC system.

FREQUENT REPAIRS NEEDED

Regular maintenance is essential if you want your system to operate efficiently. Small occasional repairs are to be expected over the course of your HVAC system’s life. However, an increased frequency of repairs or problems might indicate that it is time to consider a replacement. Even some minor repairs add up when repeated over time, so replacing it might seem to be a more economical choice. If you are starting to notice an increase in the frequency of repair needs or if you are faced with a major problem that requires costly repairs that are more than half of the cost of a brand new HVAC system, then replacing it is definitely the smarter long-term choice.

AGE OF HVAC SYSTEM

One other great indicator that you need a new HVAC system is simply its age. Depending on your usage and maintenance, most HVAC systems only last about 10 to 20 years. If you’ve had yours for more than 15 years, then it is probably the best time to start thinking about getting a replacement just to make sure that you are not caught unaware and left with a faulty HVAC system – especially when you need a working one the most.
