Your home’s comfort depends mainly on having ideal indoor temperatures all year long. However, heating and cooling systems can break down over time, which means you may need a new HVAC installation. Here, the skilled furnace and air conditioning contractors from B & H Heating & Air Conditioning in High Point, NC, answer a few frequently asked questions about the replacement process.

4 HVAC Installation FAQs

1. Do I Need to Repair or Replace My Unit?

If you notice high energy bills or a malfunctioning furnace or air conditioner, you will need to make a choice: get a replacement or make the repairs. Replacements are the better option if repairs are too expensive or frequent. A new unit will save you money in the long run. Also, consider replacing your HVAC system if it’s struggling to provide adequate heat or cool air.

2. Should I Ever Replace a Working Furnace or Air Conditioner?

HVAC InstallationAlthough your heating and cooling system is working at the moment, you should think about getting a new high-efficiency system if your current model is over 12 years old. Older equipment can break down unexpectedly and leave you with expensive repairs, so it’s better to upgrade while you have a chance. A new air conditioner can cut your energy bills by 20% to 40%, while a new furnace can save up to 50%.

3. How Can I Prepare for My HVAC Installation?

You should leave the HVAC installation to the professionals, but you can take a few steps to prepare for your new heating and cooling system. First, learn as much as you can about your upgraded system and how it will work in your home. Second, pick out a thermostat. If you want more control over the temperature and comfort of your home, a Wi-Fi thermostat is an excellent choice; you can control it through your smartphone. Finally, meet with your HVAC contractor. Before the work begins, discuss any questions or concerns you have about the system and the installation procedure. 

4. How Long Will My New System Last?

The longevity of your upgraded furnace or air conditioner depends on proper installation, regular maintenance, and the frequency of use. Typically, systems last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. To get the most out of your unit, schedule annual HVAC inspections and tuneups.
