How Can Buying a New HVAC Save You Money?

How Can Buying a New HVAC Save You Money?

I know what you are thinking. How can spending money save you money? It does sound incredulous, but it is true. We have come to expect a few things in life-electricity, running water, and heating and cooling. If you have an HVAC system that is over 10 years old, a new HVAC system is in your near future. There are some reasons that support buying a new system.

Costly Repairs

When your HVAC system is over ten years old, the likelihood increases that your system will need repairs. Many HVAC manufacturers offer 10-year parts warranties which cover your parts expenses up to the tenth year. After 10 years, you are shouldering all the cost which could be expensive. If your unit has not had regular maintenance (we recommend twice a year), the probability of your unit needing an expensive repair goes up exponentially. Many homeowners will spend hundreds or even thousands on the repairs to an aging system. In contrast, if you purchase a new unit, it will most likely come with some warranty on parts or labor or both.

Efficiency

What does efficiency mean for your wallet? Efficiency refers to the amount of energy required. An older HVAC system is generally less efficient An HVAC system manufactured today is much more efficient than one made ten years ago. The SEER, Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, rating uses a sliding scale to measure a unit’s efficiency.

Even if your budget only allows a cost-friendly option, the SEER rating on a new unit will still be higher than an older unit. What this boils down to is that your new unit will save you a minimum of 25%-60% off operating expenses.

More Money in Your Pocket
