Is it time to replace your HVAC?

HVAC units tend to lose their charm and functionality as they age, just like all mechanical/ electrical equipment’s do. There is only so much repairs and wear an AC unit can handle before it gives away and needs to be replaced. Here are a few pointers to know if your HVAC needs to be replaced.

It is old

Any AC unit that has been in use for over 10 years has run its course. HVAC experts argue that some units can function for up to 20 years. However, their efficiency reduces over time and they will be prone to more repairs, hence ten years is a good threshold to start thinking about replacing your HVAC unit.

Repairs and maintenance cots

As an AC unit ages, it is more prone to malfunctions, thus increasing its maintenance costs. You might have to replace bigger parts over time, and owing to obsolescence, you might not always find the right replacements. This will force you to choose aftermarket parts that might not be of the same quality or offer the same reliability as the original parts.

As an AC ages, it begins to get more noisy. A loud unit, despite maintenance and repairs is a clear indication that you need to replace your AC unit. Noise in an AC generally means that it has a few parts that has come loose inside the unit. IN most cases, detecting these faults is near impossible, let alone fixing them.

Inefficient cooling

A good HVAC unit should be able to cater to all your cooling needs with ease. As an AC ages, it becomes inefficient, and reduces in its cooling abilities. Or, it consumes too much power in order to cool your home sufficiently.

This might not always be due to age. Instead, it can be because of an increased floor area or if the number of occupants have increased in the home. In such cases, it is recommended that you buy a new air conditioner unit to help satisfy all your cooling needs.

Apart from improper cooling a faulty AC will also result in substandard air quality which can actually be detrimental to you and your family’s health in the long run. Thus it is recommended that you have your air conditioner replaced if they fit any of the above mentioned qualities.

HVAC EQUIPMENTS

Air conditioning is something that has a great significance in hot and humid climates. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. It provides thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC systems can be used in both domestic and commercial environments. HVAC systems can provide ventilation, reduce air infiltration, and maintain pressure relationships between spaces. HVAC contracting includes;

Heat load calculations: Heat load calculations help size up the accurate heating, air conditioning and ventilation requirements of any structure to help provide efficient heating/ cooling solutions.

Drawing and Designing:  AutoCAD is a handy tool that eases the task of designing HVAC systems. The software plays an instrumental role in recreating parameters of the structures; it also helps in configuring customized pathways of the ducts, heating systems and other ventilation systems of the building.

Maintenance and servicing: Ventilation and air conditioning systems require regular maintenance and upkeep in order to keep them functioning efficiently. Hence it is very essential to service ventilation systems, central air conditioners, split AC, chillers and fan coils.

Ducts are passages used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to deliver and remove air. Although most heating/ cooling systems have a dual approach, they share a common duct system to help distribute conditioned air throughout the structure. The size of the ducts depends on cooling/ heating systems used, and the availability of space. There are different types of ducting solutions, the galvanized ducting generally used for residential and commercial ventilation purposes whereas pre insulated ducting a great choice for industrial grade air conditioning.
