Cooler weather is on the way, and that means the homeowner needs to take some time to evaluate the condition of the current home heating and cooling system. If the unit is still in good shape, it’s reasonable to assume it will last for another year. When certain signs have emerged over the last few months, it may be time to start thinking about a new HVAC system installation in Winter Haven, FL. Here are some examples to keep in mind.
Uneven Temperatures in Different Parts of the House
The current unit used to keep every area of the home at the same temperature. This summer, the homeowner noticed that a few places were noticeably warmer than others. As the seasons change, the owner may notice that those formerly warmer spots become areas that are cooler than the rest of the house. While it is possible that some type of repair is in order, this type of activity can also indicate that the time is fast approaching for a new HVAC system installation in Winter Haven, FL.
The System is Getting Louder
There was a time when it was hard to tell when the unit was running. The owner had to hold a hand to a vent in order to determine if air was currently flowing. These days, there is no doubt that the system is on since it makes a fair amount of noise as it runs. That’s not too bad during the day, but it does make sleeping more difficult. Now would be a good time to talk with a contractor and find out if the unit can be repaired or if a new one should be installed.
High Energy Bills
Dealing with summer heat does take a lot of energy, but the power bills are higher than usual. That could be because the older unit is running out. An expert can assess the efficiency of the unit and see what can be done. In some cases, replacement is the only way to stop the waste of energy.
After an inspection, there will be no doubt about what needs to happen next.
