Before You Call, Check if You May Need HVAC Replacement

Your system is 12–15+ years old

HVACs are durable – they can last 12, 15 or up to 25 years, but they need proper maintenance. Depending on your model and upkeep schedule, failure can happen earlier. If your unit isn’t working like it once was, give us a call to ask about our ongoing HVAC replacement deals.

Frequent or costly repairs keep returning

Repairing your system shouldn’t be a part-time job or require a loan to pay for it. If you keep calling a technician out and repair prices are going up with each call, it may make sense to replace your system. Our technicians will run a full diagnostic to help you decide.

Uneven temperatures or weak airflow

Is one room of your home hot and the other cold? Weak airflow and uneven temps are often the first sign that your once efficient system is failing.

Energy bills are rising despite maintenance

One of the main reasons customers call us for an HVAC replacement service is energy costs. If your bill keeps rising, your system is running in overdrive.

Common Signs Your HVAC Needs Replacement

CONSTANT RUNNING

What is the sign?

Your system stays on indefinitely but barely manages to nudge the temperature, or it cycles on and off rapidly without ever making the room feel comfortable.

What does it mean?

Worn-out internal components are struggling to keep up, causing extreme inefficiency. This “constant labor” is a clear indicator that the unit is reaching the end of its functional life.

Is it time to replace?

If basic maintenance doesn’t restore its rhythm, replacing the unit will likely save you more on monthly energy bills than continuing to patch a dying system.

UNUSUAL NOISES

What is the sign?

You hear banging, hissing, or high-pitched squealing coming from the indoor or outdoor cabinet. You may also feel the unit vibrating.

What does it mean?

Major components like the blower motor, fan wheel, or compressor are likely on the verge of total mechanical failure. These aren’t just “noises”—they are warning cries from the hardware.

Is it time to replace?

We always inspect first to see if it’s a simple fix. However, if the compressor or motor is the culprit, the cost of the part often makes a full system upgrade the smarter financial move.

REFRIGERANT ISSUES

What is the sign?

Your system uses outdated R-22 (Freon) or has developed a leak in the evaporator or condenser coils.

What does it mean?

Older refrigerants are no longer produced and are becoming incredibly expensive. Furthermore, coil repairs are labor-intensive and pricey, often serving as a “band-aid” for an aging system.

Is it time to replace?

Try the $5,000 Rule: Multiply the repair cost by the age of the unit. If the total is over $5,000, it’s a sign that replacement is the better value for your home.

AIR QUALITY & HUMIDITY

What is the sign?

The air feels sticky and humid in the summer or excessively dry and dusty in the winter, despite the system running.

What does it mean?

Your HVAC is failing to manage moisture levels, which puts immense stress on the unit. Excess humidity forces it to work harder, while dry air can lead to cracked ductwork and increased dust circulation.

Is it time to replace?

If your current unit can’t balance the climate or filter out pollutants, upgrading to a modern system with better humidity control will significantly improve your home’s health.

HIGH-DEMAND FAILURE

What is the sign?

Your system consistently breaks down during the hottest or coldest days of the year when it is pushed to its limits.

What does it mean?

Small, hidden issues—like dirty filters or overheating electrical parts—stay buried until extreme weather arrives. If your system can’t handle the “peak” demand, it is no longer reliable.

Is it time to replace?

A system that fails when you need it most is a liability. Replacing it ensures you have a unit designed to handle the North Carolina climate without the stress of emergency breakdowns.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Just had my first experience with Comfort Monster and it was all it had been cracked up to be. From initial inquiry through service call and payment -- the emphasis on technology was noticeable and awesome (including the text message telling me that the technician had just pulled up at my house!). Props for bringing a tired industry a fresh face!

I was so pleased with their service that I switched my annual maintenance contract over to them. The technicians are experts in their field and very professional in delivery of their service. What surprised me the most was the amount of information they provided to me about my systems, not only verbally but in a very detailed written report. They also provided options as to short term and long term maintenance and replacement options ... I felt I could trust they were providing me the information I needed to make the best choice for me, rather than trying to upsell me.

We were very pleased with Comfort Monster's attention to detail, thorough cleaning, & system check. With other companies, we have never received such detailed reports/explanations. We were also pleased that they reported our old system seems to be in generally good shape. We highly recommend them!

FAQs

How long does HVAC replacement take?

The installation of a new system can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. The most common amount of time actually installing the system on site is 1 day (8 am to 5 pm). Complicated setups may take longer. We’ll discuss the timeline during our visit.

When is HVAC replacement better than repair?

It may be time to replace your furnace if:

  • Repairs are more frequent
  • Your system is 12+ years old
  • Your energy bills are higher than usual

Newer systems with minor issues are ideal for repairs.

Do you offer financing for HVAC replacement?

Yes. We know that no one ever plans for their HVAC system to break down. We take the stress out of replacement by offering financing options that fit your budget.

Will a new HVAC system lower my energy bills?

Yes – especially if your current unit is 10+ years old. Modern systems are much more efficient. That means lower energy costs for your family.

Do you remove and dispose of the old HVAC system?

Of course. Our Monster Techs will handle the removal of your old unit to make the process – and your life – easier.
