It is easy to forget about the home heating and cooling system as long as it is doing the job. It is only when things begin to go wrong that homeowners begin to wonder if a replacement is necessary. Here are a few signs that indicate the time for looking into a new HVAC system has arrived.
Uneven Heating and Cooling
In years past, the current HVAC system did a great job of keeping the home comfortable. Whatever the season, the temperature and humidity in the home was always just right. That has not been the case for the last few months. There are parts of the home that are definitely not as comfortable as they were before. If the technician indicates that it will take a great deal of money to get the unit working efficiently again, choosing to invest in a new system is the answer.
Cost of Operation is Increasing
The current unit seems to consume more energy that it did in the past. That translates into higher utility bills each month. Unless there is a reasonably simple way to repair the unit and get the operational cost back within a reasonable range, choosing to replace it with something new makes a lot of sense.
New Features Would Be Nice
The fact that the current unit has been in place for the better part of two decades indicates that it is no longer state of the art. There are plenty of features offered with new units that the homeowner would find helpful. Since the system is getting older and is likely to develop serious issues in the next few years, why not start looking at replacements now? If one has the right combination of features, and the cost is affordable, a contractor will be happy to arrange the installation.
