Old man winter is right around the corner here in El Paso and it won’t be long till we’ll need to prepare for the upcoming chill. One of the ways to get ready is by conducting a quick look over on your current HVAC system to ensure it is running properly and won’t give out on you half way though the low temperature season. In some cases, heating units in El Paso can suddenly fail to work as before, however, there are typically some clear telltale signs that your heating unit needs to be replaced soon. As a general rule of thumb, if your heating system is more than ten years old or your furnace is past the fifteen- year mark, then you should start looking at replacements. Here are some indications your current HVAC system will need to be changed out:

• Your energy bill is unusually high

  – for the past few months you might have noticed a higher than normal amount on your energy bill. Higher monthly utility bills can indicate a drop in efficiency.

• Frequent repairs –

  If it is beginning to cost more to keep up with all the recurring repairs than it is to purchase a new one, then consider your saving your money with a newer more efficient heating unit.

• Room Temperature imbalance –

  ideally, well running heating units in El Paso will make each room in the home feel ubiquitous in whichever temperature it is set at. However, a system that is ready to bite the dust will begin to exhibit fluctuations in room to room temperatures, some warmer and others cooler.

If you suspect your heating system is beyond repair and ready to be replaced, then you should consider having one of our trained technicians take a look at it and make some recommendations for getting your home ready this winter.
