IS IT TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR HVAC SYSTEM?

If your system is more than 15 years old, it’s probably time to start thinking about replacement. Deterioration can cause performance issues and will eventually stop older equipment from working at all. By replacing your system.

Before it gets to that point, you can avoid major unexpected costs and inconvenience. Regardless of how old your equipment is, if you notice any of the following, you may want to look into new equipment:

• It needs frequent repairs. Regular breakdowns are often a sign that complete failure is imminent.
• It needs a major repair. Even a single breakdown can suggest the need for replacement if it’s severe enough. Generally, if the repair will cost you more than half the price of a new unit, it’s worth considering the new one.
• Your energy bills are higher. If you notice your bills getting higher, the culprit is often equipment that’s running longer and working harder to achieve the set temperature.
• You’re not comfortable. Equipment due for replacement can struggle to maintain a consistent temperature, so you might notice uncomfortable fluctuations.
• You smell or hear something unusual. If your equipment smells like smoke or mould, or it starts making a lot of extra noise, that’s a clear indication something isn’t right.
• It trips its circuit breaker frequently. One trip is not usually cause for concern. If you must reset the breaker multiple times, there could be a larger problem.
