An HVAC system typically lasts between 15 to 20 years, depending on the model and maintenance routine.
Regular maintenance, sealing ductwork, and using programmable thermostats are effective ways to enhance efficiency.
Noises could indicate loose parts, debris in the system, or the need for lubrication. It’s best to have a professional inspect it.
It’s recommended to have a professional install your HVAC unit to ensure it’s done safely and correctly.
Check if the filters are clean and ensure no vents are blocked. If the issue persists, contact a professional.
Maintenance and Servicing
Filters should be changed every 30-90 days, depending on usage and the type of filter.
Maintenance typically includes cleaning, inspecting, and adjusting various components like coils, filters, and electrical parts.
Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, improve system efficiency, and extend the unit’s lifespan.
Basic tasks like changing filters and clearing debris around the unit can be done yourself. However, more complex servicing should be handled by professionals.
Increased energy bills, strange noises, and inconsistent temperatures are signs you might need professional servicing.
Installation and Upgrades
Consider upgrading if your system is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or if you notice a significant drop in efficiency.
Upgrading can reduce your energy bills, increase your comfort, and decrease your carbon footprint.
A typical installation takes about a day, but it can vary based on system complexity and the specifics of your home.
Consider the size of your space, the system’s energy efficiency ratings, and your specific heating and cooling needs.
Many regions offer rebates and incentives for installing energy-efficient HVAC systems. Check local and federal programs for details.
