If you’ve had your current heating or air conditioning system for a number of years, you may want to consider a replacement. Even if your current HVAC system isn't on its last legs yet, there are still a lot of benefits to upgrading sooner. Here are some reasons to reach out to a professional for their HVAC services sooner rather than later.

Why Should You Upgrade Your HVAC System?

1. Overall Cost

A newer HVAC system will save you money on both your AC and your furnace bill. Furnaces are measured by units called AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), while ACs are measured in units called SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.) A newer, high-efficiency HVAC system has much higher measures of both AFUE and SEER, meaning you’ll get the right amount of comfortable heating and air with less effort on your system’s part — and less money spent. Not to mention, a newer HVAC system doesn’t break down as often as older ones, meaning you won’t have to call in for AC repair services as often.

2. Efficiency

Your current HVAC system may have adequate airflow, but you’ll certainly notice a difference with a newer setup. A high-efficiency system can use variable speed motors, unlike most older systems. Variable speed motors are efficient, steady, and adjust themselves to work in accordance with your home’s specific need for airflow.

If your current HVAC system has moments of unreliability and inconsistent temperatures throughout your home, it may be time to contact a professional for their HVAC services.

3. Good for the Environment

Another benefit of variable speed motors is that, according to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, they can use up to 75% less power than other motors. Conserving energy and helping the environment is always a good bonus.
