Your HVAC system isn’t meant to last forever. On average, most systems last 10–15 years with proper care. If your unit is nearing the end of its life, you may notice signs that it’s time to replace instead of repair.
Here are some red flags to look out for:
Frequent Repairs
– If you’re calling for service more than once a season, replacement may be more cost-effective.
Rising Energy Bills
– An old, inefficient system has to work harder to keep you comfortable.
Uneven Heating or Cooling
– Struggling to maintain a consistent temperature often points to failing components.
Excessive Noise – Loud rattles, bangs, or hums are a sign something serious is wrong.
System Age – If your unit is over 15 years old, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
