This December, you might be wondering what to ask Santa for. How about a new HVAC system? If your current system is showing signs of age or inefficiency, it might be time for an upgrade. Here are a few key signs it’s time to replace your HVAC system:
1.System Age
If your furnace or boiler is over 15-20 years old, or your heat pump is 10-15 years old, your system could be nearing the end of its life. As systems age, they become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. If you’re noticing performance issues, it may be time to upgrade and start fresh with something more reliable.
2. Increased Repairs and Higher Energy Bills
If you’re making frequent calls to your HVAC technician, it might be time to consider whether ongoing repairs are worth it. Weigh the costs of repairs against the cost of upgrading to a new system. Replacing your old unit could actually save you money in the long run, especially if your energy bills are climbing. A more energy-efficient system will help keep those bills in check.
3. Uneven Heating
Do some rooms in your home feel too hot while others are freezing? This is a common sign that your HVAC system isn’t performing at its best. An inefficient system can’t keep up with your home’s demands, leaving you with uneven heating. A new system will not only fix these temperature inconsistencies but also ensure your entire home stays comfortable year-round.
4. Unusual Noises & Smells
If you’re hearing creaking, popping, hissing, or banging noises, or if you’re noticing strange odours like burning dust, mustiness, or even smoke, your HVAC system is trying to tell you something’s wrong. These could be signs of worn-out parts, electrical issues, or even mold growth.
