Is your HVAC system on its last legs? Learn the telltale signs that it's time for a replacement rather than another repair.
Most HVAC systems have a lifespan of 15–20 years with proper maintenance. However, several factors can shorten or extend this timeline.
If your furnace or air conditioner is approaching or past the 15-year mark, it's time to start planning for replacement.
If your heating and cooling costs have steadily increased despite consistent usage, your system is losing efficiency. A new high-efficiency system can reduce energy costs by 30–50%.
The 50% Rule: If a repair costs more than 50% of the value of a new system, replace it.
Hot and cold spots throughout your home indicate your system can no longer distribute air effectively.
Banging, rattling, squealing, or grinding sounds indicate mechanical failure.
If you notice more dust, humidity problems, or musty odors, your HVAC system may no longer be filtering effectively.
If your AC uses R-22 (Freon), it's time to upgrade. R-22 has been phased out, making repairs extremely expensive.
