Today's furnaces are expected to last around 20 years. An A/C system around 15 years and a heat pump system around 15 years.
Any time there is a major repair needed that isn't covered by the warranty, the cost of a new furnace or A/C should at least be compared with the repair costs. Most repair parts are only warranted for one year. New equipment will have a longer warranty. The frequency of any past repairs should also be considered. A customer can stand a good chance of improving their operating efficiency with a new system when compared to any equipment more than 10 years old.
If your A/C system isn't cooling as well as it has in the past, and you are sure your air filter is clean, there is a good chance the system is low on refrigerant. Low refrigerant level is one of the major causes of an air conditioner "freezing up". The other is a dirty air filter. The most important thing for the customer to pay attention to is keeping the air filter clean.
Most likely the condensing unit, A/C unit, on the outside of your house is not running. If it is running it may be very low on refrigerant. It may be as simple as a breaker having been tripped. And it could be a component within the unit has failed requiring a visit from a technician.
Any time a customer hears a sound that alarms them, they should call to set up a service call. Most abnormal noises a customer hears are very difficult to troubleshoot over the phone and should be checked out by a technician.
A heat pump unit cools your house in the summer and provides heat in the winter. They extract heat from the outside air temperature and they work especially well when outside air temperatures are above 40 degrees F. At cooler outside air temperatures, some form of "auxiliary heat" is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in your house. In our area, heat pumps have been mostly installed in homes that are total electric and the auxiliary heat will come in the form of an electric furnace. It is also possible to use a gas furnace, natural or propane, for the auxiliary heat source. It shouldn't be said that one is better than the other. They both are reliable and share similar operating and installation costs. The decision as to which system is best for the house can only be made after close inspection of the house and discussion of goals and expectations a customer has from the heating and cooling system.
We install Bosch Geothermal systems. These systems are the ultimate in year round operating efficiency. A heat pump unit that sets outside the home, like an A/C unit does, extracts heat from the outside air temperature. A geothermal system extracts its' heat from the ground that is a constant temperature, around 55 degrees. We prefer and suggest using vertically drilled "wells" for the installation of the ground loop. A water solution is circulated through this loop to extract heat from the ground in the winter and to reject heat to the ground in the summer.
Our equipment is sized using Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) manual J residential load calculations. We can best derive the information needed for this calculation during a visit to the residence.
