As a homeowner, you’re probably always thinking of ways to keep your household running efficiently. This includes maintaining your heating and air conditioning system. When you follow the right maintenance schedule, your HVAC system can last 10 – even 15 – years!
Unfortunately, there comes a time when your home comfort system needs to be replaced. Even with the right maintenance schedule and upkeep, HVAC units only last so long. Eventually, an upgrade makes more sense than extensive repairs.
While investing in a new system may be expensive, upgrading can actually have a number of benefits. When your furnace and air conditioning units get older, they may begin to break down, work less efficiently, or even need to be repaired more often. While struggling though another season with your old equipment may seem like it's helping you avoid purchasing an upgrade, it could actually cost you more in the long term.
Before you make a purchase, it's important to fully understand your potential investment. To help prepare for your HVAC upgrade, let’s take a look at a few things you can expect.
1. Lower Utility Bills
Heating and cooling your home can get expensive. If your home's equipment is sized incorrectly or your system is outdated, it will run less efficiently than newer systems. If you’re still running an air conditioner that is ten or more years old, your cooling bills may be quite high.
Upgrading your HVAC system can help you lower your bills without having to sacrifice your comfort. Through installing a new, correctly-sized, updated system you can continue to heat or cool your home while spending less money each month. While you may have to spend more to install your new system, your monthly savings can quickly make the investment worth it.
2. Improved Air Conditioning Performance
As heating and air conditioning systems get older, they will work less efficiently. Whether parts have worn out or the technology and components have become outdated, older systems simply do not perform as well in regulating the temperatures inside your home. Not only can this make your cooling bills higher, it can also make it more difficult to get your home to a comfortable temperature.
When you upgrade to a new home comfort system, you’re able to purchase new equipment that not only meets, but exceeds the latest standards and regulations. This ensures that your system is environmentally friendly and can also improve efficiency – making it easier to maintain comfortable air temperatures inside your home.
3. Fewer Repair Appointments
While proper maintenance of your HVAC system is important, it isn’t always enough to keep your system running for years and years. A well-maintained heating and air conditioning system can last for many years, but eventually, it will need to be replaced. If you’re constantly scheduling repair appointments for your heating or AC unit, it may be time to upgrade.
A new home comfort system will still need regular maintenance services, but it will require fewer repairs. If you're constantly scheduling repair appointments for your heating or AC unit without seeing any lasting improvement, you could be throwing your money down the drain. It may be time to upgrade.
Upgrading Your HVAC System
If you’ve been running into a number of problems with your heating and air conditioning equipment, why spend your hard-earned money on repairs or high energy bills? Rather than suffering through another year of record-breaking summer temperatures, invest in a new system and enjoy a more comfortable home. With fewer repair appointments, more efficient cooling, and lower energy bills, a new home comfort system could actually save you money.
