Replacing an HVAC system can be a significant investment, but it can also lead to improved efficiency, air quality and comfort. How do you know when it’s time to replace your HVAC system?
Here are 10 signs it’s time to call Integrity Air in Jasper, Georgia:
- System Age: If your HVAC system is more than 8 years old, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan and you may want to consider upgrading to a new and more efficient unit.
- Repair Frequency: If you’ve had the unit repaired often, it could be more cost-effective to replace the system with a new and reliable unit.
- Power Bills Going Up: A significant rise in energy costs could indicate that your system is working harder to maintain the same level of comfort.
- Temperature Inconsistencies: If certain rooms are too hot or too cold, your system may be struggling to distribute air evenly.
- Air Quality Diminished: Increased dust, humidity, or musty smells (even though you’ve changed your air filter) can indicate that your system isn't filtering properly.
- Frequent Cycling: If your system turns on and off frequently, it could be a sign that it’s inefficient and overworking.
- Unusual Noises: Sounds like banging, clanking, or hissing may be signaling an underlying issue that indicates the need for repair or replacement.
- Leaks: If you notice refrigerant leaks, it can indicate that your system is failing.
- Obsolete Technology: If your system doesn’t have energy-efficient features, upgrading can save you money in the long run as older systems lack such enhancements.
Visible Wear & Tear: Rust, corrosion, or damage on your unit can indicate it's time for a replacement.
