Something’s up with the home heating and cooling system, so you call a local service. What you hoped to hear was that the system can be repaired. While the Lakewood HVAC contractor does confirm that a repair is possible, the recommendation is to replace the unit instead. Here are some of the reasons why replacing the system is what the contractor suggests that you do.
The age of the system may have a lot to do with it. Simply put, it’s already lasted more years than anticipated. Couple the reduced efficiency with increasing difficulty in locating replacement parts, and you can see why the contractor thinks it’s time for a new HVAC unit.
Another factor may have to do with how long the repair would keep the unit running. Replacing the component may allow you to keep using the system for another year, or it could fail again in six months. That would mean more expense in a relatively short period of time. With a new unit, you’re not likely to have this sort of thing happen.
There’s also the fact that a new system would come with features that the current one does not provide. Would you like remote access to the home’s system? How about the ability to check on the settings any time that you like? Would it be nice to change the setting without having to get out of your chair? All these are possible with newer systems.
There are likely more reasons why the Lakewood HVAC contractor thinks that a new unit would be the best option. Discuss the reasons behind the recommendation, and you may find yourself agreeing with the professional.
