Is your furnace or air conditioner making an unusual noise, not keeping up, or emitting a strange odor? Don’t hesitate to give us a call! We are more than happy to talk with you over the phone about your HVAC equipment and schedule a service call if necessary. If there is an issue, waiting too long can lead to further damage of your system and prolongs the time you have to wait until your system is up and running properly again.

The average lifespan of an HVAC system typically ranges from 15 to 20 years, depending on factors like the type of system, maintenance, and usage.

This can be a difficult decision to face as the cost of replacing your HVAC equipment can be high. There are two main things to consider here. First, is my system safe? If your furnace has a cracked or compromised heat exchanger this can lead to carbon monoxide being released into the air in your home which is a safety threat to the occupants of the home. If this is the case, you definitely want to get your furnace replaced ASAP!

Second, does the cost of a repair make sense when compared to the expected life span of the equipment? In other words, if you are looking at making an expensive repair on a 18 year old air conditioner that is nearing the end of it’s expected life span, is it better to do the repair or put that money towards a new system? In many situations the answer may be yes. But if a simple repair can gain you a few more years on your system, why not do that instead?

Here at Legacy Heating and Air we understand the difficulty such a situation can pose to a homeowner, and we are committed to helping you walk through the decision process in a way that helps you arrive at the best solution for you. We won’t exaggerate the condition of the equipment or cost of repairs in order to upsell you. We provide candid feedback and honest answers to your question so you can make an informed decision on what is best for your situation.

Things like proper installation practices, good care (which includes consistently replacing your furnace filter and cleaning your outdoor condenser), and regular maintenance can help to increase the lifespan of your HVAC system.

A good rule of thumb is to replace your furnace filter every three months. Although, this can vary depending on your home environment and the type of filter you use. If you have pets that shed or live in a dustier area, such as the country, you may need to change your filter more often. On the other hand, if you have a very clean home or use a 4” pleated filter, you might be able to extend the replacement interval. In general, replacing your filter more frequently helps improve air quality and extends the lifespan of your HVAC system.

We recommend a mid-grade pleated filter. Using a filter that is rated close to MERV 11 is great. Using lower rated filters can lead to lower air quality in your home and doesn’t protect your HVAC equipment as effectively. On the flip side, using filters with a really high MERV rating can actually impede on your HVAC system’s performance by restricting airflow.

Yes! Whole home humidifiers can be tremendously helpful for maintaining healthy and comfortable environment in your home. Having proper humidity levels in your home will help prevent congestion and respiratory issues, dry skin, static electricity, damage to fine wood furniture or floors and helps you feel warmer during the cold winter months.
