What Are the Signs You Need HVAC Replacement?

Your Current System Is More Than 10 Years Old
The major components of an HVAC system start to deteriorate after around 10 years, although this also depends on usage and maintenance. This means your system will no longer function optimally, reducing energy efficiency. It is also worth noting that air conditioning units over a decade old contain outdated Freon that is harmful to the environment.

Repair Costs Are Piling Up
Older units and systems will require more repairs over the years. If you find yourself paying for repair services more frequently, including replacing major parts, start computing the costs. Once the expenses exceed half the cost of a new system, it’s more cost-effective to put your money in a new one.

Your Energy Bills Are Unusually High
As the seasons change, it is typical for your energy bill to fluctuate, but it should remain relatively the same as the previous year. If you notice a higher energy bill than usual for that period, it might mean your HVAC system is not working as properly and efficiently as it should. It either needs service or replacement altogether.

There Are Temperature Inconsistencies or Issues in Your Space
Issues with maintaining a consistent temperature in your indoor space include feeling always a little too hot or too cold. Possible causes might be a maintenance issue, such as clogged filters or a damaged thermostat, or an HVAC system that has become inefficient and weak to function properly.

You Have Poor Indoor Air Quality
Signs of poor indoor quality include the presence of mold, mildew, dust, and unusual humidity levels in your space. This is because a damaged heating or cooling unit leads to inadequate ventilation.
