Taylor Refrigeration and Air Conditioning’s Signs to Watch For As the Summer Months Approach
Late Spring in St. Augustine and the surrounding areas brings warmer temperatures—and with it, the need for a reliable HVAC system. But how do you know if it’s time to replace your current unit or just schedule a tune-up?
At Taylor Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Inc., we’ve been helping local homeowners and businesses for over 70 years. Here are the top signs that your HVAC system might be due for an upgrade as the summer months approach.
- Your System Is 10–15+ Years Old
HVAC systems typically last 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance. If yours is nearing or past that age, it may be running less efficiently and costing you more in monthly energy bills. Newer systems are built with energy-saving technology that can reduce operating costs and improve comfort.
- Repairs Are Becoming Frequent and Costly
An occasional repair is normal—but if you’re calling for service multiple times a year, or facing a major repair like a compressor or blower motor replacement, it might make more financial sense to invest in a new system.
- Your Energy Bills Are Rising
Higher utility bills without a change in usage could point to a system that’s working too hard to keep up. A new HVAC unit with a higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating can drastically reduce your monthly costs.
- Uneven Temperatures or Poor Airflow
Are some rooms warmer or cooler than others? Do you notice weak airflow or longer times to reach the desired temperature? These symptoms can indicate a failing system or improperly sized equipment—both of which are worth addressing with our team.
- Strange Noises or Odors
Grinding, banging, or squealing noises—or musty smells—should never be ignored. These could indicate mechanical failure, mold, or electrical issues that pose safety risks and signal it’s time to replace your HVAC unit.
- Poor Indoor Air Quality
A decline in air quality, excessive dust, or increased allergy symptoms might be due to an older system that isn’t filtering and circulating air properly. Modern systems include improved air filtration features and humidity control to create a healthier environment.
