Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you replace an HVAC system?
As a general guideline, the newer models of HVAC systems in homes should have an average life of about 12 to 15 years. Routine maintenance, use factors, and even the quality of the components will all have an impact on the durability of the HVAC system.
When should you replace an existing HVAC system?
If a system is more than ten years old and has a lot of minor repairs or a major repair, replacing it with a new, energy-efficient system is often the most cost-effective option for any homeowner.
Does replacing your HVAC system increase your home’s value
Replacing your HVAC system does not have a direct impact on increasing the home’s value, but an old system may result in a buyer asking for a price reduction.
How long does it take to replace an HVAC system?
With most types of residential HVAC systems, a full removal of the old unit and replacement with a new unit take about a day. This can vary based on the location of the HVAC system and other factors.
How do I know if I should replace my air conditioner?
