As your HVAC system ages, it is unfortunately likely to decline in functionality. Most HVAC systems usually have a lifespan of ten-to-fifteen years. A lifespan greater than that is considered tremendous, but when your HVAC system creeps over ten years of age, it is usually time to start looking for a replacement.

If your monthly energy bills are continuously rising despite your consumption habits being unchanged, your HVAC system may be to blame. These failures in efficiency can be addressed with periodic repairs and regular maintenance, but it is unlikely to ever be completely rectified as your HVAC system continues to age.

No matter if we’re dealing with a major or minor appliance in your home, we know that a unit that requires frequent repairs is not likely to have too long of a lifespan. As your HVAC system ages and more repairs are needed, a replacement should begin to be considered by the homeowner.

Depending on the season, your HVAC system may have to kick into overdrive to heat or cool your home. However, if your HVAC system won’t stop running on days without extreme temperatures outside, that is usually a sign that your HVAC system is on its last legs.

If your HVAC system cannot maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home, that is a sign that a replacement system may be necessary.
