As your HVAC system ages, it will begin to decline in functionality and efficiency. Most HVAC systems have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years. A lifespan greater than that is considered tremendous, but when your HVAC system creeps over 10 years of age, it’s usually time to start looking for a replacement.

If your monthly energy bills are continuously rising despite your consumption habits remaining unchanged, your HVAC system may be to blame. These failures in efficiency can be addressed with periodic repairs and regular maintenance, but are unlikely to ever be totally resolved as your system continues to age.

Whether a major or minor appliance in your home, the moment that unit starts requiring frequent repairs, it’s safe to assume that a replacement is imminent. As your heating system ages and more repairs are needed, you’ll need to start planning for a replacement.

Depending on the season, your HVAC system may have to kick into overdrive to heat or cool your home. However, if your heating system won’t stop running on days without extreme temperatures outside, that is usually a sign that it’s on its last legs.

If your heating system cannot maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home, that is a major sign of replacement. Call (507) 690-3580 to schedule an HVAC technician to come out to your home and determine next steps from there.
