Your HVAC system keeps your home comfortable, and when it finally goes, you can face significant costs beyond those of a replacement. Rather than constantly repairing an aging system, it’s best to hire an HVAC contractor for a replacement. Here’s why.

How to Tell It’s Time for a New Heating Unit

1. Bill Spikes

If your utility bill suddenly skyrockets, your heating unit is likely inefficient. Poor performance means the appliance sucks more power to compensate, leading to higher bills and unnecessary energy use. To be certain, have an HVAC contractor inspect the issue. They can determine if you need an upgrade and recommend energy-efficient models.

2. Ongoing Repairs

If you’ve already invested a significant amount of money in heating repairs and are experiencing repeat issues, you’re delaying the inevitable. While the price of a new heating unit may feel prohibitive, it will far outweigh the cost of continued repairs and potential damage to other parts of your HVAC system.

3. Age

Heating units have roughly a 15-year life span. Check the appliance’s serial number on the data plate. It varies by manufacturer, but the first four digits typically indicate the week and year the unit was built. If yours is hitting the 15-year mark, it’s time for an upgrade
