Reasons to Replace Your HVAC System 

Age-Related Wear & Tear & Increased Maintenance – No matter how well maintained an HVAC system is, it will eventually reach a point where the age of the system will make it obsolete or increasingly expensive to keep up with. Frequent repair calls to an HVAC servicing expert like Bendon Heating & Cooling are often a telltale sign that the system is starting to fail. If this is something you are currently dealing with, then considering a replacement is highly encouraged.  

Uneven Heating / Cooling & Higher Utility Costs – As an HVAC system gets older, it will also start struggling to maintain the same level of heating and/or cooling that it was capable of when it was new. It may also begin to start heating or cooling your home unevenly as various components wear out faster than others. You may start to notice your utility bills begin to rise over time as the system becomes less and less efficient.  

Unusual Sounds and/or Smells – If you start to hear sounds such as clanging or other abnormalities as the HVAC system is engaged, you might need to consider a replacement. This often means that something in the system has already or is in the process of failing and can result in the whole system stopping. Similarly, strange smells should immediately be brought to our attention so that we can come to diagnose the situation and suggest the appropriate course of action.
