Signs your HVAC system needs replacing
If your HVAC is failing, there is usually no question. There are very specific signs that point to the need for replacing your HVAC system, and there are lots of benefits that can result in both more comfort and value.
Top Signs Your HVAC System Needs Replacing And Is Failing:
1. Short cycling or runs constantly
If your HVAC system cycles on and off or if it doesn’t shut off at all, this could be an indication of a more serious problem.
2. Unusual smells
Musty or moldy odors generally indicate that there is bacterial growth in your air ducts. This is not an indication that your HVAC is failing, but it should be seen to right away to ensure your health and comfort. However, if you smell burning metal or any kind of electrical odor, do not hesitate to call your HVAC technician right away.
3. Weak airflow
Weak airflow can be caused by a range of issues, including blower fan failure or blockages in your ducts.
4. Unit not cooling
If you have warm air coming through your vents when the A/C is on, you’ve definitely got a problem. As soon as you notice this, you should shut down your HVAC systems right away and schedule a service call.
5. Unusual noises
If you hear knocking or banging when you turn on your HVAC system, it could be a harbinger of a much bigger problem just around the corner. Your best bet is to call an HVAC technician right away to diagnose the issue before it gets worse.
6. Thermostat isn’t working
This is the most common problem cause of HVAC system failure. Though it technically doesn’t mean that your system isn’t working, it does mean that it’s not communicating with the rest of the system properly.
7. Your energy bills are through the roof
If you notice your energy bills are on the rise, this could mean your HVAC systems are not working as they should. Older systems tend to be less efficient and when they near the end of their lifecycle it’s often a good idea to start looking into a replacement.
