Benefits of HVAC System Replacement

The right HVAC system makes all the difference in how comfortable your home feels. 

Benefits include: 

  • New HVAC systems provide up to 7% energy savings than the year prior, on average.
  • Newer energy-efficient HVAC systems typically require fewer repairs.
  • Because of advances in indoor air quality, newer HVAC systems make your home more comfortable.

Finding the Right Contractor

Before choosing a new heating and cooling system for your home, it's best to find a knowledgeable, trustworthy contractor. A good contractor will have the skills and tools necessary to calculate the type and size of HVAC system that is most appropriate for your home. After all, a system that is too big will frequently turn on and off, resulting in poor energy efficiency. And a system that is too small will cause the system to work harder than it should. By finding the right HVAC system replacement for your home, you'll benefit from even temperatures and increased energy efficiency. The right contractor can help guide you through this process.

Finding the Right HVAC Unit

Noise levels, options and warranties can help you determine which HVAC unit is right for you. If noise levels are a concern, ask your contractor about systems that produce noise levels under 60 decibels (dB). Likewise, ask about the options available with the system and if they can be expanded (our Certified Comfort Experts are a great resource for this). You also need to learn about the warranties available on the unit so your equipment is protected for years to come. Something else to keep in mind? HVAC installation cost, which can greatly affect your budget. Ask your contractor what they charge for this before you pick out a unit.

More Things to Consider

In addition to finding your contractor and HVAC unit, don't forget about securing reliable HVAC installation and looking at HVAC financing options. However, there are more things to consider to make your HVAC investment more solid.

Add-on Options

Look into options that help make your home more comfortable. For example, if indoor air quality (IAQ) is important to you, ask about IAQ products, like humidifiers and air cleaners. This is also a good opportunity to ask your contractor to investigate the ductwork to make sure a new system doesn't require any additional changes. Ductwork can experience significant wear and tear and requires maintenance and cleaning. Additionally, a communicating thermostat can actively monitor your system and alert you to possible issues, all while providing remarkable control over your system's operation. As the part of the HVAC system you'll interact with the most, the thermostat is an important component of professional HVAC installation.

Maintaining Your System

It's tempting to "set and forget" a new HVAC system, but keeping a regular maintenance schedule is essential. Regular maintenance can help identify small issues before they become big problems. It also gives you an opportunity to learn how the new system is functioning in your home and make adjustments to increase your comfort and the system's efficiency. Remote monitoring solutions like Hx™3 can help your dealer keep an eye on your equipment to ensure consistent operation.
