Purchasing a used air conditioning system or furnace for your home presents a variety of potential problems. The experienced air conditioning and heating repair team at All Temperature Systems in Waupaca, WI, continually strives to educate their customers about complications from installing used equipment. The goal is always to assist customers in creating a comfortable, safe home or business in addition to providing full-service heating and air conditioning service.

It might look cost effective upfront; however, purchasing used equipment will cost you more money in the long run. Let’s cover just a few pointers you need to know about the dangers of used equipment:

• Incorrect Equipment: What if you choose the same type or size equipment currently installed in your home? It maybe that it wasn’t right to begin with or circumstances changed.  Selecting the wrong system or installing incorrect components can not only damage the equipment, it can result in a shorter lifespan of the product. It is important to have a licensed technician or qualified salesperson determine what equipment is best suited for the space. This involves understanding heating and cooling thermodynamics that goes beyond ‘common’ knowledge.
• Maintenance Issues: Manufacturers and Distributors send out periodic bulletins regarding best practices, modified or replacement components for servicing their equipment. For example, the manufacturer may release an improved condenser assembly for an AC system that increases performance. These updates or new parts are sometimes mandatory and failure to comply within time frame voids warranty and/or voids homeowners claim to compensation. A licensed professional will be current with all manufacturing bulletins released regarding your unit and can advise you accordingly.
• Warranty Problems: It’s easy to void a warranty. If you or an unlicensed handyman fixes the product or if different brand parts are used, the warranty is invalidated. Some equipment manufacturers even void the warranty if you don’t purchase through a licensed professional. 

In the long run, purchasing and installing used equipment costs just as much as new equipment, so why take the risk? Work with the experienced, highly-trained technicians at All Temperature Systems and forego the added hassle of future repairs and replacement. Every technician on the Waupaca air conditioning and heating repair company team is trained to service all major brands.
