Common Signs you should replace your HVAC system

Air-Tech HVAC Corp. is dedicated to providing current and potential clients with the most accurate, up-to-date information. Knowing what to look out for can save you time and money. Today we will discuss some common signs you should look out for to replace your HVAC System.




Lack of Cool Air & Limited Airflow:

Here in Broward County, one of the common most overlooked signs that your air conditioning unit is experiencing issues has to do with a lack of cool air & limited airflow. Within just a few minutes of powering your HVAC unit, you should experience cool air with unrestricted airflow. If you are not experiencing cool air within minutes, and barely any air is flowing through your unit, there’s a simple solution. The issue could be due to a clog in the piping/ductwork; however, if the piping/ductwork is clear and you’re experiencing a lack of cool air and limited airflow, now is the time to have your HVAC unit replaced as this will not resolve itself on its own.


Moisture Buildup:

It is important to know that here in South Florida, all air conditioning units will create moisture to some extent but HVAC units functioning properly should be able to handle it without any issues. You may have a refrigerant leak in your a/c system if you notice any moisture present or any leaking around your air conditioning unit. This will be the cause of the unit's lack of performance. While water buildup may not seem like an immediate cause to worry, allowing it to continue may also pose a serious health risk for you and your family as water buildup can create an undesirable breeding ground for mold.



Strange Sounds:

Most HVAC units are supposed to operate at a barely detectable noise level. This is another commonly overlooked sign that your a/c system needs to be replaced here in Margate, FL. The presence of any strange sounds such as chattering, grinding, and squeaking is not normal. If your air conditioning unit is drawing your attention, don’t disregard this as an aging system, this means it is time to upgrade your equipment so that you can enjoy the great quality of air and system you deserve that will save you time and money.


Foul Smells:

A great HVAC system should be putting out clean, neutral-smelling air; however, this may not always be the case when problems exist. Any smokey or burning smells may indicate serious problems and require immediate attention. This of course could be something as simple as a wire burning out and needing to be replaced or rewired, but if you have a system that is more than 10 years old, it is highly recommended that you replace the system instead.







High Energy Bills:

If you’ve noticed your a/c system working too hard to keep your home cool, you’ll surely see an increase in your energy bill as well. Now may be the best time to upgrade your equipment in order to reduce your bills for years to come and keep your family nice and cool in the hot humid summer months.


Constant Repairs/Reoccurring issues with your HVAC unit:

Have you been noticing your HVAC system needing to be repaired frequently? Repairs being done on your air conditioning unit three or four times within a few months’ time are clear signs to start considering an upgrade in equipment and forget about continuing with costly repairs.



HVAC Lifespan Expires:

Like everything in life that has an expiration date, air conditioning units generally don’t last more than a decade. If your unit’s about 10 years old you may want to consider upgrading your equipment before you’re left in the hottest, humid, sweltering summer months in Broward County. It won’t be long before you find yourself making costly repairs to a unit that is struggling to keep you cool, these are clear signs it’s on its way out. Don’t be left in defeat in this heat, make a cool decision that will surely refresh your wallet and your home. 🏡
