Why You Should Replace Your Old HVAC System

AC Repair Newport News, VA | AC Maintenance Hampton

HVAC units utilize most of the energy in a home. If you think your unit is not performing correctly, then it may be time to contact a Hampton VA HVAC tech. When your system is old and needs to be replaced or has defective parts that need to be repaired, you must take care of it immediately to avoid unnecessary expenses. When that time comes, trust Atlantic PHAC for your HVAC needs. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to keep your system efficient and safe for you and your entire family.

In this article, we will explain a few of the most important reasons to swap out your old model with a newer one. 

Better for Your Wallet & the Environment

Since most of the energy used in your home is likely coming from your HVAC system, replacing it with a new model can save you significantly in the long run. If your old model is running nonstop, this is a sign of inefficiency. Unfortunately, this feature is extremely common in older models in their attempt to reach the household’s desired temperature. Trust us when we say this is doing your wallet no favors. 

On the other hand, newer models will reach the desired temperature quicker, exerting less energy in the process. It will then automatically stop running once the temperature has been reached, ultimately saving you money. Its energy efficiency will aid you in more ways than one. Newer models utilize less fuel each year than old models. So, not only will they save you money, but they are also better for the environment. Less fuel equals less waste. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint and currently own an old HVAC system, this is a good way to correct two problems at once.

Produces Cleaner Air 

Do you know if the air in your home is affecting your asthma and allergies? It could be. You are more likely to breathe harmful, low-quality air produced by older systems because they are less capable of preventing pollutants from entering the home. A newer model, on the other hand, does a good job of ensuring pollutants stay out. Your health is the most important reason to purchase a newer model, as it will:

  • Regulate the temperature
  • Remove air impurities/pollutants
  • Prevent mold 

If you suspect your system is triggering a medical condition, you must contact a qualified technician to perform an inspection. 

Experience Consistent Air Quality 

We hear a lot of complaints about inconsistent air quality throughout the home. It is not uncommon for one or two rooms in a household to receive less air than the rest of the house. Although it is common, that does not mean you must endure it. Newer models will help keep the temperature in your home comfortable for everyone in the family. Or, assuming you want one room in the house to be set at a different temperature, you can utilize the unit’s multiple thermostats. It will consistently regulate the temperature without overextending itself and wasting energy.

You are No Longer Under Warranty 

It is unlikely that your old HVAC model is still under warranty. Whenever it experiences a problem, the cost of these potentially expensive repairs comes out of your pocket. Another advantage of buying a new HVAC system and having it installed correctly is you will be back under warranty. Repairs will still be an inconvenience and an unavoidable fact when owning a unit. However, you can rest easy knowing that it will not cause a financial setback. When you hire Atlantic PHAC for all your installation and maintenance needs, our team will ensure that your system functions correctly, so repairs are less frequent.
