Our answer is, it’s a wise approach. Here's why.
Paired design—Your furnace. This can help improve energy efficiency and performance.
Technology upgrades—There have been a lot of recent advances in HVAC technology, especially in energy efficiency, air filtration and quiet operation. You’ll have these benefits throughout the year when you upgrade the whole system.
Improved heating and cooling efficiency—Efficiency rankings are formed on corresponding equipment performance. While installing a lone new unit will enhance performance, efficiency will be lacking from what it was envisioned to be. And your savings will not be as large as they’d be with a matched system.
Equipment age—If your air conditioner is 10 years old (or older), your heating system is likely just as dated. Replacing both means you’ll have many years of efficient comfort, regardless of the time of year.
Updated warranty—A new system also means you’ll have new system warranties. You’ll receive peace of mind knowing the warranty covers your complete system for the same amount of time.
At first glance, getting only a new cooling system or heating system could seem like a smart decision. But it’s not quite a good decision when you consider reduced efficiency.
Installing an entirely new system might cost more, but you earn much more efficiency, reliability and comfort for many years in Orlando.
