Questions to Ask Yourself Before Pursuing an HVAC Upgrade

Upgrading your current HVAC system is an important investment. Making a purchase should be easy, especially if you have the funds ready, but it can be tough given that there are so many HVAC units available on the market to choose from. Narrowing down your choices involves knowing what your comfort needs are.

Econoair Heating & Cooling Inc., home of the top local heat pump and boiler installation pros, suggests some questions to ask yourself before pursuing an HVAC upgrade.

“Is my home warm or cool enough?”

We all want to aim for consistent comfort inside our homes, but not everyone is able to experience this. In fact, many homeowners feel that some rooms are hotter or colder than others, especially during summer and winter. This could be an indication that your HVAC system isn’t doing its job, which could signify the need for an upgrade.

“Is my indoor air of good quality?”

You may consider a heating or air conditioner install if you’re not sure about the quality of the indoor air you and your family are breathing. In addition to humidity, the spread of airborne particles like pollen, dust, mold and pet dander is a problem for many households. In fact, poor air quality increases the risk of respiratory problems and allergic reactions.

“Does an HVAC upgrade fit into my current budget?”

Pursuing an HVAC upgrade may require you to invest a little more up front. Even so, doing this will help you achieve greater savings in the long run. Consider an HVAC unit with higher ratings that translate to better efficiency, which can in turn lower your utility bills. Be sure to determine your current system’s SEER, AFUE and HSPF ratings and compare them with the new models. Also worth noting is the fact that there are financing options available so that you can afford a high-end system for your home.
