HVAC Replacement Vs. HVAC Repairs

Many times, a repair is all your system needs to get back to work. If so, that is the best news. Sometimes, though, the only viable solution can be an HVAC replacement . This could be because of a variety of reasons – which we will discuss – but hopefully you are not being forced to make this call during an emergency breakdown situation. One of the first things you need to determine is: is it too costly for me to keep this current system? Here’s a few factors which can help you answer that question:

• Repair bills. Is an HVAC repairman a frequent visitor to your home? If so, those repair bills are likely mounting. A good standard to remember is if the repairs are near or exceed 50 percent of the cost to replace it…. replace it.
• Inefficient technology. Replacing your aging heating system with a new one also means upgrading from outdated technology to the latest and greatest. You will immediately enjoy new smart features and increased efficiency that will save you big bucks on utility bills.

Watch more reasons to consider replacing your system rather than repairing it below:

• Older is not better. Furnaces usually last 10-15 years, so if yours is more than 10 years old, its performance and efficiency will likely decline.
• Utility and manufacturer’s rebates/credits. Many utility companies will offer rebates for homeowners who replace aging systems with more energy-efficient systems. Also, most manufacturers offer rebate promotions at various times throughout the year. Both can help offset the upfront cost of a new heating system.
• Smaller energy footprint. Are you concerned with the impact your old system may be having on our environment? If so, you will be happy to know that the energy footprint of newer, more efficient systems will be significantly lower than your outdated system.
