5 Signs You Need a New HVAC System
It can be easy to forget about your heating or cooling system when everything is working as it should, delivering comfort throughout the rooms in your Cherry Hill or Voorhees home. But when something’s wrong, what should you do? Is the issue something you can fix with a repair call? When is the best time to get a new HVAC system?
This blog reviews how replacing your HVAC is worth it, and how an experienced heating and cooling contractor can help you make the best decision for your New Jersey home.
When Is It Time to Replace an HVAC System?
Here are five common scenarios where experts ecommend replacing your heating or cooling system:
1. Your System Is 15-20 Years Old
How long should an HVAC system last? Unfortunately, even the best units won’t last forever! Older systems tend to break down more frequently from wear and tear and become less efficient with age. If you’ve gotten many years of reliable operation from your furnace, boiler, or air conditioner, consider yourself lucky, and talk to Bovio Rubino Service about finding a replacement that will last just as long!
2. You’ve Been Repairing Your Unit Frequently
Eventually, enough is enough, and you’ll realize that the cost of smaller but frequent repairs is adding up, and all the while your HVAC system isn’t getting any younger. If your system has broken down twice in the last two years and fails again, we recommend avoiding the sunken cost fallacy and scheduling an HVAC system replacement.
3. The Cost to Repair Is More than 50% of the Cost to Replace
Here’s a simple but smart rule of thumb: If the quoted price to repair your HVAC is more than half of what it would cost to buy a new unit entirely, it’s smarter to schedule new heating or air conditioner installation.
4. Energy Prices Are Getting Too Expensive
If your monthly heating or cooling bills are getting too high, the higher efficiency of a new HVAC system can make plenty of financial sense in the long run. With newer technology, most furnaces and air conditioners (and especially heat pumps) today have higher efficiency ratings than older models. Upgrading can lower your energy costs by using less electricity or fuel to keep your home comfortable, saving you money and helping you offset high energy costs.
5. Your House Is Uncomfortable
What good is a heating or cooling system if it can no longer effectively heat or cool your home? If your system seems like it’s always running but your house is never quite as comfortable as you’d like, it could be time to replace a unit that’s simply too old to meet your comfort preferences.

South Jersey Rising Juniors and Seniors were Treated to Productive Day of Career, Academic and Personal Exploration for the Future
The temperature was more than 100 degrees outside, but it was cool and comfortable inside the offices of Bovio Rubino Service in Voorhees where the independent, family-owned HVAC and plumbing service company was hosting its Young Women’s Leadership Conference on Wednesday, July 15.
Fourteen South Jersey rising juniors and seniors applied to attend and six accomplished women professionals representing different industries presented and led small group workshops at the Conference. There was also a community service initiative with the young women and presenters making 250 sandwiches for homeless guests of Cathedral Kitchen in Camden before their lunch break.
Bovio Rubino Service President Angela Rubino Hines created and personally hosted the Conference. After being named one of the top 12 women in HVACR (Heating, Ventilation Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) in 2025 by ACHR News Hines was inspired to pay it forward in her own community. Hines is also a mom to two young women, one in college and one in high school.
Hines was fueled by her own lack of role models in a male-dominated industry with a miniscule number of female workers and even fewer business owners. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) women made up 1.5 percent of HVAC mechanics and installers in 2021. Even fewer women own and run HVAC and plumbing service companies independently. Hines had few women role models coming up in the business.
Young Women Representing Eight South Jersey High Schools
Young women attending the Conference included three students from Lenape High School, Jillian Bak, Angelina Hines and Sofia Nathani, three students from Haddon Heights High School, Lucelia Durand, Tessa Ferraro and Allison O’Brien, two students from Shawnee High School, Laural Cattani and Ella Perry and two students from Cherry Hill High School East, Sophia Park and Nishka Taneja. Madison Barnett from Maple Shade High School, London Reevey from Collingswood High School, Madalyn O’Neill from Camden Catholic High School and Yesha Sethu from Cherokee High School were also selected to attend the Bovio Rubino Service Young Women’s Leadership Conference.
Subject matter experts presenting at the Conference in addition to Hines were CEO of ACCU Staffing Elaine M. Damm, Senior Investment Manager at Aberdeen plc Zoe McCormick, Jennifer Nagle, Vice President of External Affairs and Special Projects, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Senior Product Manager at SimpliSafe Molly Nugiel, Founder of Higher Minds Laura Rubino and Dr. Barbara Winfield, owner of Family Practice Associates of Voorhees.
“Coming up in the HVAC and plumbing service industry, I lacked women mentors,” Hines said. “Giving young women in my own community every opportunity for success as they advance in life motivates me. The Conference was one way of paying forward the success I enjoy as a successful, independent business owner.”
The Bovio Rubino Service Young Women’s Leadership Conference is the program highlight of the HVAC and Plumbing Service company’s 2026 community cause “LeadHERship in ’26” which advances opportunities for young women through career readiness, entrepreneurship, community betterment and a personal health and wellness mindset.
