Should You Update To A New HVAC System? 3 Signs It's Time

Your HVAC system is an important system in your home that is in charge of the heating and cooling that helps keep you and your family comfortable day and night. This major component in your home is going to need to be repaired and replaced as it ages. If you aren't sure if you need to update your system to a new one, read on for some signs that it may be time. 

1. Your Aging System Is Breaking Down

If your system is older and is beginning to break down more and more often, it's a sign that it should be replaced and updated to a new system. The older your system is, the more it may cost you to have it repaired. It's more difficult to find the parts needed for an older system, and it's more difficult to work on an older system, especially when these old parts become more scarce. The cost to work on an older system will go up as well. These additional costs can all add up quickly, and it may be in your best interest to invest in a new system instead.

2. Your Unit Has Major Damage

If your system has major damage to it, such as a broken motor or a cracked heat exchanger, or you have multiple issues with your system, it may be better to invest in a new system, rather than spend the extra money on a repair job. Major issues can also be repaired, but it could also mean that you have more major problems in your future. It's best to hire a professional and to have your unit replaced.

3. You Are Considering Adding Central Air

If you don't have central air conditioning in your home already, but you are considering it, you should also consider adding a new furnace. There's no reason to have an old furnace and a brand new air conditioner. If you're investing in a brand new A/C unit, you should really consider investing in a new furnace as well. Your air conditioning system runs through your furnace, and if you have an aging furnace, your air conditioner could be impacted.

If you aren't sure if you should update to a new HVAC system in your home, you should consider it if you have any of the above-mentioned signs. Call a professional HVAC contractor today to discuss your furnace or air conditioning systems and to see if it's best to replace your units in your home.
