In a perfect world HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) units would last forever, but this is not a perfect world. You may be tempted to hang on to a failing HVAC unit in Jacksonville for as long as possible, fearful of the cost of a new one, but you will simply be wasting money using a HVAC unit that is simply no longer working efficiently.

Here are 3 signs that it is time to finally admit defeat and upgrade your HVAC unit.

Signs it’s Finally Time to Replace Your HVAC Unit

Your HVAC unit is old

You may be reluctant to retire your HVAC system if it has given you years of service, but in reality, modern HVAC units are much more reliable and energy-efficient than older models. The longer you keep your old HVAC unit running, the more money you will be wasting. Invest in a new model in order to save money in the long term.

As a good rule of thumb, if your HVAC unit is over a decade old, then you will likely need to start thinking about replacing it.

Your HVAC costs are spiraling

An inefficient HVAC system ‘solves’ its inefficiencies in one way and one way only – it uses more power. Your unit will suck in power to produce heat when it is cold, and suck in power to cool air when it is warm. The more inefficient the unit, the harder it will have to work, and the more power it will use.

If you find your energy bills are soaring when the weather is especially cold or especially warm, then your old, inefficient HVAC system is probably what’s to blame.

You are spending a lot of money on repairs

The older an HVAC system becomes, the more likely it is to break down. Of course, if you are unwilling to replace your old HVAC system with a more reliable model, then you really only have one further option – HVAC repairs.

Over time, the cost of these repairs can really add up, and if you take a moment and add up how much you have spent on HVAC repairs over the past couple of years or so, then you will probably find that you’ve spent enough to afford a new one anyhow. Stop wasting money and invest in a new HVAC instead.
