Today we’re going to show you 10 good reasons why you may want to replace your HVAC system.

We have more than 14 years experience in the HVAC industry and we would love to share our expertise with you.

We’re going to take a closer look at why you should replace HVAC system, including the cost and energy savings, better air quality, fewer repairs, and much more. So let’s get started!

You may want to replace HVAC system to reduce your monthly heating costs

10 Reasons to Replace HVAC System

1. Cost Savings:

If you find that your heating and cooling bills are increasing year after year, it may be time to replace your HVAC system. A high-efficiency unit that has earned the Energy Star label can save you up to 20% on your heating and cooling costs.

Local, provincial, and federal governments often offer rebates for upgrading your HVAC system to a more energy-efficient one. Find out more about this in our helpful post “How Can I Install a Quality HVAC System on a Budget?“

2. You Want to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint:

Each year technology advances, and with that advancement comes more energy-efficient HVAC systems. Older systems simply aren’t as energy efficient as newer ones. Not only will a more energy-efficient unit help you save money, but it will help you save the environment. Using less energy to heat and cool your home decreases your carbon footprint and benefits everyone.

If you want to reduce your energy consumption even more, have a qualified HVAC technician also take a look at your ductwork. Your HVAC system could be losing as much as 40% of its energy through leaky ducts. Having these leaks repaired and sealed can make a big difference, as well in lowering your energy consumption and costs.

3. You Want Better Air Quality:

In addition to heating and cooling your home, your HVAC system also manages your home’s air quality. It gives ventilation by moving air throughout your home and it filters harmful particles and allergens out of the air. If your unit is no longer doing this job well, then you may want to replace it to prevent respiratory issues such as asthma attacks.

4. It Needs Too Many Repairs:

If you find that your HVAC system is constantly needing repairs, and those repairs become more costly each time, it may be time to replace it. There will come a time when it makes more sense to put your money towards a new system rather than another large repair.

5. You Want a Quieter System:

There is more than one reason why your HVAC system may be noisy. If your duct system is too small, then it may sound louder. It could also be a problem with the indoor coil of your cooling equipment. If you notice squealing, screeching, rattling, and/or banging sounds coming from your HVAC system, then there is probably something wrong and you should get it looked at. If it can’t be repaired, it may need to be replaced.

6. More Consistent Temperature in Your Home:

If you find that there are rooms in your home that are too hot and others that are too cold, then it may be time to replace your HVAC system. A newer system that is the right size for your home should give you a consistent temperature no matter where you are in your home.

7. Minimizes Humidity Issues:

Your HVAC system is also responsible for controlling the humidity levels in your home. If you find that your rooms seem to be too dry in the winter and too humid in the summer then that may be a sign that your unit is not doing its job properly, or maybe it is inadequate for the size of your home.

8. Less Dust in Home:

HVAC systems also remove dust particles from your home by filtering them out of the air. After dusting or vacuuming, switch your thermostat from “auto” to “on” so that your system’s filter can remove any airborne dust from your home and stop it from settling or circulating through your house. If you notice that you have a greater accumulation of dust in your home, your system may not be working properly.

9. Your System Is Too Big:

If your home has been recently upgraded to be more energy-efficient, you’ve added more insulation or installed new windows and doors, your HVAC system may now actually be too powerful for your home. It is actually a problem to have a system that is too big for your home. It is inefficient and will cause extra wear and tear on your unit which will shorten its lifespan.

10. Replace HVAC System if It’s too Old:

Most HVAC systems last between 10 and 15 years on average. If you have kept your system regularly maintained and serviced, it may last even longer. However, there comes a time when your system is just too old to function properly and you will need to replace it.
