HVAC systems are still operational when they’re past their expected life spans. However, having them replaced sooner rather than later has certain benefits. In today’s post, the HVAC installation contractors at A-1 Comfort Care Heating, Cooling & Plumbing share the advantages of not putting off HVAC replacement.
HVAC systems have a typical life span of 10 to 15 years. During this span of time, HVAC technologies continue to advance, which means the latest systems would have better performance, more efficient energy use and better integration with smart home systems. Indoor air quality features have dramatically improved at the dawn of the decade since the need for it was driven by the pandemic. This means you won’t be hard-pressed to find HVAC systems or standalone air purifiers that are far more superior than those made 10 years ago.
You don’t have to buy the latest and greatest to enjoy these advanced features. As with any other kind of technology, not-so-recent models tend to become more affordable as newer ones are made available. This means an HVAC system made a couple of years ago would have far more advanced features than your old one.
HVAC systems have moving components that wear out over time, from the motors that create airflow, to the pumps that transport refrigerant through the air conditioning systems. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can keep these components in their best shape. However, they can only stay in shape for so long, to the point where repairs would take up a significant chunk of your budget. Ultimately, it would be a matter of time before it breaks down, something you probably wouldn’t want to happen in the middle of the summer season. If you find yourself scheduling appointments for air conditioning repair services too often outside of maintenance appointments, getting a new HVAC system may save you some money.
With the summer season coming, you have to consider your old HVAC system’s impact on your utility bills. HVAC systems lose their efficiency over time, which means you’ll be spending more just to maintain the same level of comfort. As we touched upon above, one of the benefits of new HVAC systems is their improved efficiency, which can bring about significant savings on your utility bills.
