Air conditioners don’t work for a lifetime, regardless of the brand or quality. If you’re prepping for air conditioning replacement too? It depends on your situation.
Here are some points to consider, in addition to the pluses of staying away from a mismatched furnace and air conditioner.
Things to Ask When Thinking About Air Conditioning Replacement and Furnace Replacement at the Same Time
Here are key questions to answer in advance of making your decision:
- How long have you had your furnace? Furnaces can run up to 20 years, while air conditioners last for about 15 years. If your furnace is past a 15 years old, we advise replacing it along with your air conditioner. If it’s much less than 15 years old than this, you can likely hold on it.
- What model of air conditioner are you buying? Lots of homeowners are getting rid of their dated, single-stage air conditioners for variable-speed upgrades. This saves energy and enhances comfort by running at varying speeds. Air conditioners use the furnace blower to move air. So, if you rely on a single-stage furnace, you’ll have to get a new one to enjoy the full comfort and benefits of a matched variable-speed system.
- Can your furnace provide adequate air flow? Your furnace needs to provide the appropriate amount of air to keep your home comfy. A new air conditioner may require a different indoor coil. So, it’s crucial your furnace is properly sized for the new air conditioner. An Expert technician, like one from Winnipeg Supply Service Experts, can figure out that static pressure of your system and make the right advice.
- Is the installation difficult? You’ll make it easier on your Expert and your wallet if you install both units at the same time.
Why You Should Buy a New Furnace and Air Conditioner at the Same Time
If your furnace and air conditioner match and are properly sized, there aren’t often any major short-term drawbacks. A mismatched setup is often temporary until the other system stops working. You can skip the short-term patch by replacing your furnace and air conditioner together. And, you’ll get these advantages:
- Enhanced efficiency: By “matching” your air conditioner and furnace, you’ll ensure everything works at peak efficiency, making your house cozier and reducing your annual energy expenses.
- Decreased HVAC repairs: If you buy a new air conditioner but keep the old furnace, you never know when it could stop working for good. In the meantime, you’ll pay for repairs that could have paid for an updated furnace.
- Likely discounts: You can spend less on labor by having both installed at once. And you might even qualify for a special deal because you’re installing new heating and cooling equipment.
