HVAC Systems: When Should You Replace Yours?

HVAC Systems: When Should You Replace Yours?

Heating and cooling units lose their productivity as they age.


This may lead to frequent breakdowns, expensive service appointments, or a costly unit replacement.


We have compiled a list of factors to take into consideration when determining if you should have your HVAC system repaired or replaced-and what to keep in mind when purchasing a new unit.


 Repair or Replace? Air conditioning systems and heat pumps fail efficiency and degrade very often in a span of 10 years.


If your HVAC system is more than 10 years old, it is time to put into consideration major HVAC repairs or even replacement.


 With proper maintenance and care, HVAC systems can last up to 10-15 years.


By starting to search for an early replacement, you can often prolong the lifespan of your present system and take action to start saving money to put into a brand-new unit or system once the need for it arises.


 If you recognize any of the following issues, it may likely be the time to call one of our HVAC experts to run diagnostic tests on your system: Growing Energy Bills A spike on your energy use - outside a standard seasonal alteration - could indicate a problem with your HVAC system.


If you have been in your house for over a year, then compare your utility bills to ascertain whether you are always above your previous year’s electricity use.


 Problems in Humidity Your home may be too humid during summertime or too dry during wintertime.


Humidity problems are a sign that there could be problems with your ductwork.


For many, this can be a viable DIY job-though expensive and time intensive.


For many, however, replacement and installation of ductwork are left to HVAC professionals.


 Irregular Temperatures Homes with more than one floor will experience temperature changes with a one-zone system.


A broad variance in temperatures between rooms-even on precisely the exact same degree-or between flooring might indicate there is something wrong on your system.


Call one of our service technicians to help diagnose if this is a very simple problem with your thermostat having to be recalibrated or maybe an even more serious issue like leaking ductwork.


 Regular Repairs Making frequent fixes to your system every year? Sprung a freon flow? It may make more sense to buy a new HVAC system and consume the short-term price than to continue to spend more money through regular, expensive repairs.


 Bi-annual maintenance is highly recommended for these HVAC systems-once in the fall before winter and once in the spring before summer.


Proper maintenance of these units is essential to make sure the functionality is adequate and efficient and also to prolong the life of your system.


 Should you encounter any issues with your HVAC systems or for consultation whether it needs to be repaired or replaced, do not hesitate to contact the experts of Twintech Heating and Cooling.

Really nice honest guys. It was a pleasure to do business with a company that does exactly what they say they’re going to do! My basement was cleaner after they installed my new furnace and AC. Thanks again Greg and Grant and for doing such a great job.

by George In Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

5 star service!! I had twin tech install a high efficiency furnace and hot water tank at my home. I am taking time to write this review as a thanks for what I viewed as next level service that went above and beyond. Prior to installation they explained my specific options without pushy sales tactics and up front costs. Greg and Grant replaced a large portion of the duct work (built in their own shop) that had rusted over the years which resulted in a great looking job. It was a pleasure to work with people are passionate and take pride in their work. Following the installation they explained all aspects and maintenance of the new equipment. Products have worked flawlessly. Thanks again Greg and Grant! Highly recommend!!

by Donna J, in Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Twin Tech was great; they were honest, reliable and very thorough. I would recommend their services and will definitely be using them in the future.

by Sheila C. Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Hi Dave, Thank You Dave for coming to my aid this past summer when my AC quit. Your men did a great job installing and cleaning the area. The unit is working very well and i would highly recommend your company TwinTech. Dave you delivered what you sold and i truly appreciate it.

by Darin O. Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My experience with TWINTECH has been excellent, start to finish. While doing market research I made a list of several local companies and called them for some high-level information. Dave was the first to call me back, and the only one to book a meeting to see my place in order to give an informed, accurate estimate. He reviewed the different AC makes and models with me, explained the technology, and made a recommendation appropriate to my home. The installation went smoothly. I had one post-installation issue – there was moderate noise/vibrations coming from the duct system. I called about this, booked an appointment, and the technician resolved the issue during the service call. I feel assured having a 10-year warranty on parts & labour. I would recommend TWINTECH to anyone considering an AC or furnace for their home. Regards,

by Sam C, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave and the guys from Twintech did a great job of installing my AC. They came on time did a nice neat job and cleaned up after themselves! Do not waste your time call Twintech first.

by Mary W, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My AC unit was not working at all and our furnace that was still working but not giving us any trouble was over 15 years old. So I had 3 heating companies come out to give us a quote on replacing both the AC and the furnace at the same time. Two companies right away recommended that I replace both units simply because they were old. Dave from twintech however suggested that we save some money and replace the AC only because it seemed to him that the furnace was still in great shape and was running fine. He told us that he would have his technicians inspect the furnace thoroughly when they had it apart to install the AC. My husband was at home when the furnace was apart and was very impressed when the tech took him downstairs to personally show him that the furnace was in excellent working condition. He also cleaned the furnace at no extra charge. So now I have an honest heating and AC company that I can highly recommend to other home owners. Great job Thank You!

by Scott B, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had made the decision to replace my furnace and AC earlier this year. After meeting with several HVAC contractors I decided to go with Dave and his company. Dave was on time, polite, friendly and very professional. He took the time to answer all my questions and to explain the scope of work that would be required to do the job. The technicians arrived on time did a professional installation and completed the job on schedule. They respected my home by putting down vinyl runners to protect my floors and did a very thorough clean up. I’m very pleased with my decision to go with Dave and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering upgrading their furnace and air conditioner.

by Mel F, Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I have no problem in recommending Dave and the TWINTECH team to any home owner who is looking for quality heating and AC products and expert service.

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
