If your HVAC system in Colliers is more than 15 years old, it’s likely losing efficiency and driving up your monthly bills. Older furnaces and air conditioners work harder, cost more to repair, and may already be out of warranty. Checking your system’s manufacture date helps you plan replacement before an unexpected breakdown.
Colliers homes along Eldersville Road, Harmon Creek Road, and the wooded ridges toward Hooverson Heights see sharp weather changes through the year. Many houses built before 1980 still rely on early-generation gas furnaces and ductwork. Combined with the valley’s humidity and hillside temperature drops, those conditions shorten HVAC lifespan for residents serviced by Mon Power and Mountaineer Gas.
After about 12–15 years, repair frequency climbs as major parts wear out. Honest Fix technicians often help Colliers homeowners who have spent hundreds on repeated blower motor or ignitor replacements. When repair costs add up to 30% or more of a new system’s price, replacement becomes the smarter choice—cutting future expenses and boosting comfort.
Older 10-SEER air conditioners can use nearly 50% more energy than new 20-SEER models. In Colliers’ damp river valley climate, that inefficiency means longer run times and higher electric bills during both humid summers and cold winters. Upgrading ensures steadier airflow and lower monthly costs while extending system reliability.
In Brooke County’s steep terrain, winter weather can change overnight. Furnaces that are near the end of their life often fail when they’re needed most. Knowing your system’s age lets you replace it before January cold snaps hit—avoiding wait times and premium repair costs when heating demand peaks.
Check the manufacturer’s label on your furnace or outdoor condenser. The serial number usually includes the month and year of manufacture. Honest Fix can confirm it during a service appointment.
Yes. Moisture buildup and temperature variation on shaded slopes accelerate corrosion and wear, especially for older outdoor units.
