This means, you’ll be spending extra money to fix the unit which could add up over time.
I have had my car for about 5 years now, and I make sure that I get an oil change regularly. In addition to the oil change, I perform certain maintenance on the car to make sure that the life will be extended. I know that I will need to eventually replace the car when it gets to the point where it begins to break down and I am spending extra money to fix it. Depending on maintenance, some cars can last up to 300,000 miles. While this is not the norm, it is certainly possible if the car is well maintained over the years. Inside my home, there are certain equipment that need to be regularly maintained so that it can perform better. One of which is the HVAC unit. If the unit is well-maintained, it can easily last longer than expected. Most HVAC units have a lifespan that lasts between 15 to 20 years, and after that point, the unit will lose efficiency. In addition to losing its efficiency, the unit will also begin to malfunction more than normal. This means, you’ll be spending extra money to fix the unit which could add up over time. If an HVAC unit is near or over the 15 or 20 year mark, it’s time to consider replacing it. Not only will purchasing a new HVAC save you money on your energy bill, but it will also make your home more comfortable. So, most HVAC providers will recommend replacing the unit if it’s near or at its expiration and when it begins to malfunction more than normal.
