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.

See What Our Customers Are Saying:

by Ian, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The term excellent or incredible does not seem high enough praise for the Twintech Heating and cooling company that recently replaced our 15 year old furnace. To start with, the response from Dave at Twintech to our original pricing request was the quickest and most professional of the 5 prices we received which included two of the primary natural gas providers. The Twintech pricing was the most competitive by a considerable margin.
We had Dave visit our home to confirm all pricing which he did and scheduled us for next day installation which was not offered my the majority of the other providers.
The installation; the team arrived on time and provided coverings to all of the hardwood flooring and stairs and proceeded with the removal and reinstallation of the new furnace, the workers predicated six hours and were completed in five hours. I have to mention how courteous and polite the workers were each time we interacted with them from start to finish.
The final result was amazing, all materials were cleaned up and removed from the house and the workmanship very impressive.
One feature that really stood out for me which shows a high level of professionalism was that we had various condensation hoses from the furnace , humidifier and an air filtration unit meeting at the one drain, the installation crew ran PVC tubing including elbows along two sides of the furnace to guide the hoses into one PVC tube at the drain, it looks great!
When the install was completed and tested the Twintech technician guided us through the features and recommendation's for care of the new furnace.
We highly recommend Twintech to anyone for the outstanding service provided to us.

I didn't hesitate to call Twintech in for a 2nd time as they did an outstanding job installing my new furnace last year. This time my 18 year old air conditioner was on its last legs. Greg and the team are top notch, highly skilled technicians. The job was executed in a timely and professional manner. Greg was extremely thorough and went the extra mile to make sure everything was operating efficiently. Lastly, Dave is a true gentleman and really made the customer experience pleasurable and worry free. Always remember that good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good.

by Derek, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

It's so hard to find solid companies these days, but I was very pleased to find one in Twintech. Greg and his crew were very clean, respectful and professional. We were most impressed at how all the things they said they would do, were done. Sounds strange, but usually when a contractor comes to your home they say they will take care of this and that, make sure this is done, etc but when the work starts you have to constantly remind them of your previous discussions. Greg ensured every item he said he would do was done, no reminders required. The work was done right, at a fair price and on time. We will be sure to call them when our A/C unit dies (fingers crossed that's not going to happen too soon :) )

by Patrick, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Replaced our aging hot water tank with a tankless system. Excellent work, fast efficient and clean.

Walked us through the new system and recommended maintenance schedule.

This is our second time working with TwinTech and we are very happy with the quality of their work and professionalism.

Efficient work and great follow up by the team at Twin Tech. Great product and communication.

On coldest night of the year our furnace quit. At 8:40 in the morning Greg arrived and gave us a diagnosis and a recommendation. By 2:30 we had a new furnace and were warm again. Great company. Great customer service. Good reasonable price.

Twin tech team was very efficient and prompt. They provided a quote within hours of request and got the job done on time. No disruption to home function. We would highly recommend this team. Job well done.

by John from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our furnace bit the dust, and Twintech came out to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem within a couple of hours. Mitch was super helpful, patient, and answered all of our questions. When we decided to get the furnace replaced, the crew was over first thing the next morning and did a fantastic job. Not only did they complete the job in a few hours, but they cleaned up and respected our house as they went, and answered all of our follow-up questions. I've used Twintech for our HVAC needs in the past and will continue to do so. I'd recommend them to anyone, and it feels good to support a local, family-owned business.

by Ryan k on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave and the Twintech team were fabulous from day 1 and helped us through the process to identifying a new furnace and AC unit. This was our first time through this process and Dave did a thorough job explaining all the components and was very patience answering all our questions. Dave provided great insights and fair pricing.

The Twintech team did an awesome installation. Very clean and efficient. I would highly recommended their service.

by Louise in Scarborough on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We had a new Amana furnace installed by Twintech and we were very pleased with the installation. It is nice to have a warm house again.
