Signs You May Need HVAC Repair or Replacement

Bykandcmechanical

An HVAC system that’s broken or old likely needs professional attention for maintenance or replacement. So, we’ve compiled a list of signs you may need HVAC repair or replacement.

There are several signs that your HVAC system may need repair or replacement, including: 

  • Energy bills
    If you notice a sudden increase in your energy bills, it could mean that your HVAC system is working inefficiently to maintain a comfortable temperature. As HVAC systems age, they tend to become less efficient. 

  • Strange noises
    Loud noises coming from your HVAC system could indicate a malfunction. For example, if your air conditioner is making squeaking, banging, rattling, or grinding noises, it could be a sign of an AC coil issue. 

  • Unpleasant odors
    Musty odors coming from your vents could indicate a problem with your AC, such as a leaky condenser or a filter that needs to be replaced. Abnormal smells from your furnace could also be a sign of a damaged or failing system. 

  • Poor airflow
    Weak airflow from your air conditioner could be caused by a clogged air filter, leaky ductwork, or a malfunctioning blower motor. 

    Other signs that your HVAC system may need repair or replacement include: 

  • Corrosion, cracking, or rust
  • Poor indoor air quality
  • Uneven temperatures in your home
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Frequent breakdowns and need for repairs
  • Temperature control issues or thermostat malfunctions
  • An HVAC system that’s over 15 years old
