The Texas Hill Country has some of the best weather around. But, that doesn’t mean we don’t need heating during the winter or cooling during the summer. It means we can get lulled into thinking our outdated HVAC unit will get the job done like we need. As spring begins and summer approaches, it’s a good time to evaluate if it’s time to overhaul your heating and air. In this post, we’ll take a look at a few signs that could be telling you it’s time to replace your HVAC unit, or possibly just have it repaired.
HIGH ELECTRIC BILL
It’s time for your dreaded monthly trip to the mailbox. You open your electric bill… and it seems a lot higher than it should be. During the hottest and coldest times of the year, your bills can really spike. The problem is that they could spike even more if your HVAC unit isn’t working right.
REPAIRING YOUR CURRENT SYSTEM
It may seem daunting to pay to replace your HVAC unit but a new unit’s efficiency, combined with eliminating frequent repairs, can quickly result in great savings. Some maintenance is normal, and you may even need some repairs every few years, but serious repairs to either the heater or A/C mean something is wrong.
OLDER UNITS
Typically HVAC units last about 10 years. They may still be running after a decade, but it’s likely you’ve lost efficiency and a new unit would provide better value. You may even notice that the temperature in your home is not regulated like it used to be when the unit was new. Older units will collect dirt and dust over the years that eventually gets into the air you breathe. Even the thermostat itself needs to be upgraded every few years. If the unit seems to be constantly running, it will eventually break down and have problems, and ultimately become less efficient.
