This is a fact of life you must face: your heating and air conditioning equipment will eventually wear out, no matter how diligent you are about maintenance and repairs.
But that can be a good thing, since HVAC technology is always improving in terms of durability and cost-efficiency. Consequently, if the time has come to upgrade your HVAC system, you should see that as an opportunity rather than a burden.
When you purchase and install a new, high-efficiency furnace, air conditioner and/or heat pump, here are some of the benefits you’ll enjoy …
Is your current HVAC equipment more than a decade old? If it is, get ready for some amazing news: a new ENERGY STAR-certified, high-efficiency furnace, air conditioner or heat pump could save you 20 percent or more on your monthly heating and air conditioning bills.
Two-stage or variable-speed furnaces or air conditioners are especially recommended (they are designed to maximize energy savings), and you should look for air conditioners with SEER ratings of higher than 13 and furnaces with AFUE ratings of 92 percent or greater.
HVAC systems in Colorado and Wyoming are stressed by a significant workload, and after 10 or more years of operation they will start to function at a lower level of efficiency, that is inevitable and unavoidable. You may not notice the decline in performance, since the change happens gradually, but you can be sure it is there.
After upgrading your HVAC equipment, you’ll almost certainly notice an uptick in performance, which will translate to more consistently comfortable temperatures.
As HVAC systems age, they will inevitably need more—and costlier—repairs.
Ever-increasing repair bills are not a form of preventive medicine that will extend your heating and air conditioning equipment’s lifespan indefinitely, but a sign of impending breakdown, and the sooner you upgrade the sooner you’ll begin enjoying all the financial benefits an upgrade entails.
Your heating and cooling equipment have one primary purpose—to keep you comfortable all summer and all winter long, regardless of how extreme the conditions are outside.
Older HVAC systems that are slowly grinding to a halt will have a difficult time keeping up when temperatures reach their zenith in summer and nadir in winter, but if you invest in modern HVAC equipment those troubles will vanish. New furnaces and air conditioners will adjust their performance to meet seasonal conditions, and you won’t have to worry about them being overwhelmed by the challenge.
In the back of your mind, you’ve known for a while that the end is near for your current HVAC system. But thinking about the expense of purchasing a new system has kept you sweating it out, hoping against hope that your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump will somehow beat the odds and hold out for a couple of more years.
Once you take the plunge, however, you’ll soon realize that upgrading your HVAC system was one of the smartest things you ever did. With financing available you should be able to handle the upfront costs, and with all the money you’ll be saving on energy and repair costs you’ll soon realize you made a tremendous investment.
The two best indicators that an HVAC system needs an upgrade are age and rising costs. If your equipment is 10 years old or older it is living on borrowed time, and it is likely outdated in any case. If you’ve noticed rising repair and energy costs it means your current HVAC system is no longer delivering reliable or cost-effective performance, and if you continue to patch it up you’ll basically be throwing good money after bad.
