Questions to Ask Yourself Before an HVAC Upgrade

Shopping for a new HVAC system is a good “problem” to have, but it can still be a challenging prospect. It’s always helpful to ask yourself some questions to guide the decision-making process. By taking this approach, you can get what you want at a price you can live with. Stone Heating and Air, one of the top HVAC companies in the area, suggests asking yourself these questions.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before an HVAC Upgrade

What Is My Budget?

Like any expensive investment, the price tag is only one aspect of the cost. You should also ask yourself how much potential savings on your energy bills a higher-end unit can provide. Are there any incentives or rebates available on specific systems? How much will installation and regular maintenance cost? Take a look at the whole picture before making a decision. Your HVAC contractor can help with budgeting.

What Size HVAC System Do I Need?

There are a few factors to take into consideration when determining the correct size of HVAC system for your home, including weather, home size and factors affecting your energy efficiency. It will help to have an energy assessment performed on your home, after which you can upgrade those components that will help regulate heating and cooling abilities.

You can also speak with expert technicians from home heating companies like Stone Heating and Air. They can assist you in determining your HVAC size needs. Choose a system that’s too small, and it will run continuously; too big, and it may not run as often as it should, leaving you open to humidity issues.

What Type of Maintenance Should I Do?

After your HVAC installation, what do you need to do to maintain the system? Find out about filter changes, regular maintenance and warranties. Avoid costly repairs and enjoy top performance with a preventive maintenance plan. Make sure to factor its cost into your overall budget.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!
