Signs You Need A New AC System

HAVC System Age

The average lifespan of a residential HVAC system is around 20 years. Most AC systems were installed once the home was built. Do you know how old your AC system is? Whether you just moved in or have been living in your home for years and start to notice some issues, it may be time to get your AC serviced. Our experts can come out and check your HVAC system to keep you informed on its age and relative need for service. If your HVAC system needs service, give us a call.

Energy Costs Are Going Up

People have stayed inside more this year, due to covid, and the summer has not been a cold one. Due to this, it is understandable that energy costs will rise a little, but if you notice that your energy costs have spiked recently, then it may be time to get a new HVAC system. Our expert service technicians will assess the situation and make recommendations on whether servicing the old unit is worth it or if it is time for a new unit.

It Is Hotter Than Normal Inside

We are in the peak of summer, and it is getting pretty hot outside, and the inside getting hotter is normal, right? One common sign of a dying HVAC system is increased internal temperatures. It is commonly overlooked since it’s hot outside, but a properly working HVAC system will be able to keep the inside a cool, comfortable temperature no matter the time of year. If you notice a rise in temperature inside, give My Father’s Mechanical a call today.

AC Is Louder Than Normal

Some AC systems make a few noises, but you know your AC system needs to be replaced when you can hear it. Normal airflow noises are typical, but if you hear rattling, squealing, or banging when the HVAC system is running, give My Father’s Mechanical in San Antonio TX, a call. We can replace, repair, or service your home AC system to ensure those noises go away.

Weird Smells

One of the other common signs your AC system is dying is that there is a musty or mildew smell coming out when you turn it on. If you smell a musty or mildew-like smell, that means there is moisture in your ventilation system, leading to other problems in the house.
