Most systems have a lifetime of 10 to 15 years, with gas furnaces lasting 20 to 25 years. As your equipment gets older, its efficiency can decrease dramatically. You may notice that it gets noisier and needs repairs more often. If you live near bodies of water or the ocean, your system’s life expectancy may be drastically shortened due to the harsh environment. If your system is over 10 years old, you should have it checked for maintenance or replacement.

When you schedule your regular maintenance visit with a qualified heating technician, they will test your system to make sure it is running at optimal levels. But there are some ways you can determine whether or not your system is working efficiently on your own. Abnormally high heating bills are one of the indicators that your system is running at low-efficiency, but keep in mind that how well your home is insulated and sealed and whether your filters are clean will also play a role in heating costs. You can also tell by how warm your house stays throughout the winter. If some rooms are colder than others, or if you find that you are turning up the thermostat more often, your heating system may not be running very efficiently. Check your thermostat settings. Is your heating system achieving the desired temperature setting you are requesting on the thermostat? If not, call one of our HVAC professionals to inspect and test your heater.

Five main questions need to be considered when deciding to either replace or repair your heating and cooling system:

1. How old is your system? If your system is more than ten years old, it may be wiser to invest in new, higher-efficiency equipment, which could cut your energy costs by up to 40%.
2. What is the efficiency level of your current system?
3. What was the efficiency when the system was new? Unfortunately, replacing parts of your old system will not improve its efficiency. If the energy savings from using a higher-efficiency system will cover all or part of the cost of investing in new equipment, you should seriously consider replacing the old system.
4. What is the overall condition of your system? If your system is in good condition, it could be wiser to simply repair it. But if your system breaks down often, you should consider replacing it. Consider the 50% Rule.
5. The 50% Rule: If the cost of repair vs. replacement of your system is less than half of its value and you haven't been suffering the financial burden of frequent service calls to keep your system up and running, repair may be easier on your checkbook. Ask your technician to calculate the efficiency and energy usage of your system to help decide.
