Is It Time to Replace Your Air Conditioning System?
According to Energy Star, certain telltale signs will tell you when it's time to consider replacing heating and cooling equipment, or improve the performance of your overall system. If you're a homeowner in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area, it may be time to call the experts at Harvey Hottel to help you make a change if:
- Your heat pump or air conditioner is more than 10 years old. Consider replacing it with a unit that has earned the ENERGY STAR label. Installed correctly, these high-efficiency units can save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs.
- Your furnace or boiler is more than 15 years old. Consider replacing with an ENERGY STAR qualified furnace, which is 15% more efficient than a conventional furnace. If you have a boiler, consider replacing with an ENERGY STAR qualified boiler that is 5% more efficient than a new, standard model.
- Your equipment needs frequent repairs and your energy bills are going up.
- Your cooling or heating equipment my have become less efficient.
- Some rooms in your home are too hot or too cold. Improper equipment operation, duct problems or inadequate insulation could be the cause.
- No one is home for long periods of the day and you do not have a programmable thermostat. Install an ENERGY STAR qualified programmable thermostat or have a good contractor install one and instruct you on its use - to start saving energy and money while they're away or sleeping.
- Your home has humidity problems. Poor equipment operation, inadequate equipment, and leaky ductwork can cause the air to be too dry in the winter or too humid in the summer.
- Your home has excessive dust. Leaky ducts can pull particles and air from attics, crawl spaces and basements and distribute them throughout your house. Sealing your ducts may be a solution.
- Your heating or cooling system is noisy. You could have an undersized duct system or a problem with the indoor coil of your cooling equipment.
- Your system does not improve even after air duct cleaning.
For an assessment of your ac system, contact Harvey Hottel and we will help you decide whether to replace or repair your air conditioning system.
