Questions to Ask When Replacing an HVAC System- HVAC systems don’t last forever, even with regular maintenance. So, it is likely that every homeowner will have to get a new HVAC system at some point. But when should it be done? How does a homeowner know when to do it? Read on to find out a couple of the most telling signs of when it’s time to replace your home HVAC system.

An aging home HVAC system can result in major issues for homeowners, such as temperature inconsistencies and higher-than-normal energy bills. The Department of Energy recommends homeowners replace their HVAC system every 10 to 15 years. While most modern HVAC systems are durable and generally long-lasting, the components of the systems deteriorate progressively over time; this usually starts happening at about the ten-year mark depending on how much overall use the system gets. The first indication that you need a new home HVAC system is the system’s age.

Often, an old HVAC system will be unable to keep your home consistently at the temperature you desire. This problem could be due to issues that include a damaged thermostat, low fluid levels, blocked filters, leaky ducts, cracked furnace, or damaged motors within the system. Temperature inconsistencies also often occur if your home HVAC system is not sized correctly; the system might not be powerful enough to effectively and efficiently distribute cooled/warmed air throughout your home if it is not the correct size for your space—houses that vary in size, layout, location, etc. each have distinct needs when it comes to heating and cooling of each unique space. If you choose to keep your current HVAC system, your temperature troubles will remain; and you will continue to experience physical discomfort as well as higher-than-necessary energy bills. Replacement of your HVAC system is an effective way to address those issues.

Concerning energy costs, homeowners should be aware that while there will be seasonal changes to those costs, energy bills for each month should be similar every year at the same time. As your home HVAC system ages, it must work harder to cool/warm the air in your home; the efficiency decline results in greater energy use. If you start to see wide variances in your energy use and receive bills showing increased energy costs, know that it is yet another sign that you should replace your home HVAC system. Having a new home HVAC system installed will help reduce your energy use, especially if it is an “ENERGY STAR” system (i.e., high-efficiency HVAC units) and decrease your monthly energy costs.

Routine scheduled maintenance will help maintain the lifespan of your home HVAC system and keep it operating as efficiently as possible, but you will need to upgrade it eventually.
