How do I know if I need to replace or repair my heater?

An HVAC system is a motor-driven system that is not entirely unlike your car when it comes to repair and replacement. Regular upkeep and maintenance can keep your heater running better and over a longer period of time. Many parts inside of the unit can be repaired or replaced during the lifetime of an HVAC system. 

At some point however, there will likely come a time when the cost to repair will outweigh the cost to replace – whether that cost be in dollars, in comfort, in consistency, or in ease of use or peace of mind.   

Repairs can keep a unit going but can sometimes come at the cost of lower efficiency or lower heat quality than a complete heater replacement. These are exactly the types of options we discuss with you after we’ve completed an evaluation and analysis of your particular unit. 

How long does a heating unit last in Massachusetts? 

HVAC systems in Massachusetts tend to last anywhere between 15 and 20 years on average. Regular maintenance can keep a unit running past this average. If your unit is starting to get near or is over this age, it may be time to start thinking about the idea of a heater replacement. 

If you’re not sure of the age of your heating unit, you can usually find the date etched onto the nameplate of the unit itself. It may also be encoded in the unit’s serial number, which is often engraved or printed on the unit. A search on the internet for the brand name along with “serial number decoder” can help you to decipher the date of your unit. 

How much does a complete heater installation cost?

There are numerous different factors to consider when it comes to replacing a heater such as the type of wiring, ducting, the amount of space, your home’s construction, etc. The cost of heater installation can range from $4,500 to $18,000 depending on many variables.
