Ask yourself: Do you run your system constantly? Is your system keeping you comfortable throughout the day? Have you noticed your utility bills increasing? If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider it a sign to upgrade. Your HVAC system should be able to keep your home at a consistent temperature and your monthly bills shouldn’t come as a surprise! A new comfort system will ensure fluctuations such as these will remain at a minimum.
Price
You have to take into account how repairs down the road will impact your wallet, versus the cost of upgrading your system in the near future. If your bills are continuously rising because of an inefficient system, and the repairs can cost half of a new unit, it’s time for an upgrade. Luckily, an upgraded system can reduce utility costs significantly keeping costs down the road low.
