How Long Should My HVAC System Last?
How long an HVAC system lasts is a question that everyone asks, and the honest answer is that “It depends.” Here in New Jersey, if you live close to the shore, the added salt in the air tends to be corrosive for metal and HVAC systems in general. That means that heating and air conditioning systems tend to have shorter life spans than if you lived more inland, like Vineland or Glassboro, for example.
As your HVAC system ages, the metal heats and cools repeatedly, and over time, metal fatigue sets in. This leads to tiny, pinhole gaps that can cause leaks of refrigerant from your AC system, and it can even cause leaks in the heat exchanger in your furnace- which can lead to carbon monoxide escaping into your home, which can be very dangerous and even deadly.
As a general rule, if your standard forced air HVAC system starts needing frequent repairs and it’s 12 years old or older, especially if you live near the shore, you should start looking at whether a replacement system is a better option than continuing to rack up expensive repairs over time.
Problem: 17 year old HVAC system was needing frequent repairs, and over the past year, the homeowners were noticing very high electric bills, due to leaking refrigerant.
Solution: Replace older system with a new Bryant Evolution Air Conditioning system.

Replacing The HVAC System
When our team came out and took a look at the existing 17 year old system for this home, we knew it was starting to fail, based on the number of repairs and the refrigerant leak. In addition, starting in 2025 older refrigerants have been phased out for environmental reasons, meaning getting the parts and refrigerant to repair older systems keeps getting more expensive over time.
The good news is that newer systems are much more energy-efficient than older systems, and can end up saving you a lot of money in the long run, by delivering greater comfort at a lower cost. They use less energy than the older system, and therefore the energy bills are lower as well!
Choosing A Bryant Evolution HVAC System
After discussing options with the homeowner, they decided to opt for a Bryant Evolution air conditioning system. Bryant Evolution extreme ac systems offer some of the highest efficiency available, and because of their energy efficiency, a system like this one can qualify for rebates from your energy company. The homeowners here qualified for a $750 rebate, which certainly helped with the costs involved in replacing their older system.
Energy Efficiency
This Bryant Evolution system can operate up to 30% more efficiently than other AC systems. The systems are also super-quiet, which means if you have your windows open and the AC kicks on, it will no longer sound like a jet engine starting up!
Bryant’s Evolution system uses a variable speed compressor, which allows the air conditioning to continuously make small adjustments to keep the comfort level in your home consistent, while using the smallest amount of energy necessary. This allows the system to maintain a good mix of temperature, humidity, air flow and air quality to make sure you are always comfortable.
The new Bryant evolution systems also remove up to 400% moisture from the air, which is especially important when you live near the Shore in the summer. When you remove the extra moisture from the air, you’ll feel cooler, and you won’t have that experience of feeling like every surface is sticky in your home-or having the kids peel themselves off of the furniture!
Replacing The System
The experts here at Broadley’s were able to come out and fully replace the heating and cooling system in this home in a day.
The new Bryant Evolution system also comes with a smart digital thermostat, you can see in the pictures below.
The Evolution Connex control is wi-fi enabled, meaning you can manage the system remotely from your phone. The system also has an occupancy sensor, so it knows when you’re home and when you’re not, and can automatically adjust to help save you energy and money on your energy bills!
Should You Consider An HVAC Replacement?
While it is not cheap to replace an HVAC system, replacing your system with a newer one can end up saving you a lot of money in repairs- and more importantly- save you money every month by increasing your system’s efficiency while also increasing your comfort. This increased efficiency will mean smaller energy bills every month, which every homeowner can appreciate! And with regular maintenance, a system like this will have a long lifespan, even at the shore.
