Preventative Maintenance

Purchasing a heating and cooling system is an investment. Just like a vehicle, it needs proper care to ensure it continues to run in a tip-top shape.

Sometimes, it becomes more cost-efficient to replace your heating and cooling system than continuously repairing it. But how exactly do you know when it’s time for you to replace your system?

Here are 5 questions to ask when deciding whether or not to replace your HVAC system:

Are you constantly having to adjust your thermostat’s temperature?
Do your electric bills seem high?
Does your air conditioning system still use R22 refrigerant instead of R410?
Are you constantly scheduling repairs for your heating and cooling system?
Is your system more than 7 years old?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it may be time to replace your system.
