  Is It Time to Replace Your HVAC System?

  Sep 10, 202613 min

  Anthony Mound is the Owner and Master Plumber at Trust 1 Services, a Massachusetts plumbing and HVAC contracting company. Under his leadership, the company has grown into a trusted local provider, offering services such as pipe and drain work, HVAC installation and repair, and maintenance membership plans. Anthony has over 10 years of experience as a plumber. In this episode… Deciding whether to repair or replace an HVAC system isn't always as simple as comparing one repair bill with the cost of new equipment. Age matters, but so do efficiency, condition, safety, and the likelihood of future repairs. So how can homeowners make a smarter HVAC repair-or-replacement decision without spending money unnecessarily? HVAC professional Anthony Mound recommends looking at the full condition of the equipment rather than relying on age alone. A well-maintained older system may still have plenty of life left, while recurring repairs, safety concerns, or obsolete refrigerants can make replacement the better investment. Anthony also suggests weighing energy costs, previous maintenance, future repair risks, and how long you plan to stay in the home. Getting clear information — and a second opinion when something doesn't feel right — can help homeowners make a practical, informed choice. In this episode of Everyday Comfort , Chad Franzen of Rise25 talks with Anthony Mound, Owner of Trust 1 Services, about deciding whether to repair or replace an HVAC system. Anthony covers system lifespan, costly repair warning signs, and how refrigerant changes affect replacement decisions. He also discusses replacing AC and furnace equipment together and when homeowners should seek a second opinion.

Under his leadership, the company has grown into a trusted local provider, offering services such as pipe and drain work, HVAC installation and repair, and maintenance membership plans. Anthony has over 10 years of experience as a plumber. In this episode… Choosing a contractor often comes down to more than comparing prices or reading a few online reviews.

Informed homeowners are better equipped to recognize trustworthy professionals and avoid costly surprises.
