Most heating and cooling systems are built to last a long time. If properly maintained, your unit could last 10-15 years or even longer. But, the older your unit, the more risks it poses to your home and your family. And the more expensive it is to operate and maintain. Although the price of a new heating and cooling system is a significant investment, it can provide you with comfort, safety, peace of mind, and reduced energy costs.

Signs it’s time to replace your old heating and air system:

The older the unit, the harder it has to work to do the same job it once performed, simply because its inner workings are wearing out.  Inconsistency in temperatures within your home. Are some rooms too hot while others are freezing? This could be a symptom of an inefficient heating and cooling system. Strange noises.
