Buying a new HVAC system can be a nerve-wracking experience, especially if it’s your first one. To make sure you get a unit that will work effectively in your home, ask a few important questions during the purchase process. Working with a skilled HVAC contractor also ensures that the system will be properly installed. Below are some questions you can ask about HVAC systems before making a purchase.

Which HVAC Unit Is Best for My House?

A major concern when purchasing a new HVAC system is how large one should be to accommodate your home. If you choose a unit that’s too small, it will continuously run, waste energy, and won’t properly heat or cool your house. A unit that’s too large will cycle on and off too often, wearing the system down quickly and creating an uneven temperature. Have your HVAC contractor calculate the proper size for your home before making your purchase.

Does My House Need Work Before Installation?

Consider the physical size of the unit and the area you intend it to be installed. You may need to have the space altered or cleared. Also, have your HVAC contractor inspect the ductwork to ensure that it can accommodate your new system. You may need to have repairs done or replace parts of the ductwork if it’s unable to support an HVAC unit.

How Efficient Is the Unit?

Make sure your electric bill stays low by choosing an energy-efficient HVAC model. Look for the Energy Star® logo on the unit’s packaging. This indicates that the model has been certified by the federal Energy Star program for efficiency. Another way to increase the efficiency of your system is to switch to a programmable thermostat or a Wi-Fi thermostat. Both options give you greater control over when and how long the system runs.
