Here are some signs that you might need to replace your unit.
In most cases, strange noises coming from your HVAC unit during operation is not normal. Noises like grinding, hissing, rattling or other odd noises could point to larger issues within your unit. Scheduling an air conditioning or heating service call quickly can help us evaluate your HVAC unit and provide recommendations before it completely fails. Our experienced technicians will resolve your issue the first time.
If you have an undersized HVAC unit (maybe you’ve expanded your indoor area or it wasn’t sized properly when purchased), the unit does not have the capacity to properly heat and cool your home or office. Or maybe you’ve seen an increase in your energy bill recently, which could indicate a dying HVAC unit. Either way we recommend you schedule a service call ASAP to avoid as much down-time as possible.
If your HVAC unit is over 10 years old, its life may be coming to an end, especially if it has not been maintained properly and serviced every six months. In addition, it most likely uses R22 freon which has been retired. Replacing your old system with a new, energy-efficient unit will give you peace of mind while saving you money on your monthly energy bill.
If it’s hot outside and your air conditioning unit is not blowing cool/cold air, you may have an issue with your compressor or refrigerant. If your HVAC unit is older and uses R22 freon, the cost of converting it may be more than replacing the unit itself, not to mention the energy cost savings a new unit will bring. Schedule service so we can take a look and advise you on the best way to proceed.
If your HVAC unit is barely blowing air, you could have something as minor as a clogged filter, but it may be an indicator of a broken motor, blower fan or something even more serious. Either way if your HVAC isn’t performing at its peak level, your energy costs will increase and the unit’s performance will continue to decrease. We can analyze the issue and give you an objective opinion of how to proceed to get the best value for your money.
An air conditioner is supposed to pull humidity from the air in your home. If you are experiencing increased humidity inside your home or office, it could be an indicator that your HVAC unit is not performing at its peak level, or you may have an under-sized unit. This also results in decreased air quality and can lead to mold or mildew buildup inside the home. We recommend having your unit serviced ASAP by one of our trained, experienced technicians here at Lockey Heating and Air.

FAQs
Yes. Many homeowners assume a larger system performs better, but that’s not always true. An oversized unit can cycle on and off too quickly, while an undersized one may run almost constantly. Both situations can increase energy use, reduce comfort, and put unnecessary wear on your equipment.
Uneven temperatures aren’t always caused by an aging air conditioner. Poor airflow, leaky ductwork, blocked vents, insulation issues, or an incorrectly sized system can all create hot and cold spots. Identifying the root cause helps ensure you’re fixing the right problem instead of masking it.
Not always. While many modern systems are compatible with smart thermostats, older equipment or multi-stage systems may require specific models or additional wiring. Checking compatibility before upgrading can help you avoid installation issues and ensure all features work as intended.
In many cases, yes. Replacing an aging system before it fails can give you time to compare options, avoid emergency installation during extreme weather, and choose equipment that best fits your home and budget instead of making a rushed decision.
Absolutely. Even the most efficient equipment has to work harder if conditioned air escapes through poor insulation or air leaks. Improving your home’s insulation can reduce the workload on your heating and cooling system while helping maintain more consistent indoor temperatures.
Ask about equipment sizing, energy efficiency ratings, warranty coverage, expected operating costs, maintenance requirements, and whether your existing ductwork is suitable. Understanding these details can help you choose a system that performs well for years instead of simply selecting the lowest-priced option.
