Your commercial heating and cooling system is essential for keeping employees and customers comfortable, and it may also be necessary to keep other equipment functioning correctly. As the system ages and begins to decline in performance, replacing it as soon as possible will keep your daily work flowing smoothly. For this reason, look out for the following signs it’s time for an upgrade.

When Should You Replace Your Commercial HVAC System?

1. Rising Utility Expenses

As a system begins to decline, it'll work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures, causing your utility bills to increase. When heating and cooling a large facility, this could cause monthly bills to go up by several hundred dollars. Installing a new system eliminates the performance problems contributing to rising energy bills, while also allowing you to invest in efficient equipment.

2. Inconsistent or Uneven Performance

As a commercial heating and cooling system ages, it loses its ability to deliver cool air consistently. Unusual temperature swings or hot and cold spots in different parts of the office indicate repairs are needed. If this doesn't solve the problem, or the issue returns after a short period, it's time to replace your equipment.

3. Unusual Sounds or Odors

Grinding or screeching noises and unusual odors from the HVAC are signs that something is seriously wrong with your system. Such issues can also affect your employees and distract them from their work. Unusual odors often stem from mold or mildew growth, which could compromise your office's indoor air quality, and loud noises generally indicate parts are breaking down.
