The HVAC industry is one of the fastest growing in the US, and it’s expected to see more than 6% growth in the coming years. These units are an important part of keeping businesses comfortable for workers, customers, and visitors, so it’s no wonder people are willing to shell out.
But HVAC units don’t last forever. After a while, they may start to break down and function less effectively. This is especially true if they’re seeing constant use.
Wondering when to replace your commercial HVAC system? This article can help! Read on to get the answer to your questions.
1. Loud or Strange Noises
When things go wrong inside an HVAC unit, chances are you’re going to hear about it. Malfunctioning ACs can rattle or hum. It might be a small sound, or it might be something that grinds work to a halt!
Either way, you likely need to get a noisy HVAC unit replaced. Even if the noise isn’t bothering you, it’s a sign that something is going wrong inside the unit. That means a more serious problem is just around the corner.
2. Rising Bills
Energy bills can be a huge strain on your finances. So if you notice bills rising in your place of business, you need to find the source quickly and arrange HVAC maintenance or repair.
Older or faulty HVAC units don’t run at peak efficiency. That means they can be energy vampires, costing a small fortune to maintain. A new unit could help you make big savings in energy costs.
3. Rising and Falling Temperatures
If you’re noticing an extra layer of sweat on your brow during the summer, perhaps your HVAC isn’t doing its job properly. Older or poorly-maintained units may struggle to process air as quickly. Without the proper heating and cooling services, your staff could be laboring away in uncomfortable temperatures.
4. Poor Air-Quality
If you have an older HVAC unit, you might notice poorer air quality on your premises. Sometimes this may not even be visible. But staff may notice they’re finding it harder to breathe or they’re coughing more when standing close to your HVAC unit.
If you notice this issue, it’s important to replace your unit right away. If not, the malfunctioning unit could potentially cause a health issue on your premises.
5. An Older Model
If you have a very old HVAC unit, over ten years or so, it may be a good idea to replace it. Even if you haven’t noticed a specific problem, it’s a good idea to get an upgrade and avoid further problems down the line.
Although it may seem expensive to replace the unit, you could save money in the long run. You could save on energy costs and keep your business premises more comfortable. That has the potential to keep staff and customers happy, and you can’t put a price on that!
