The average lifespan of a heating and air conditioning system is 15 years. If your system is approaching this age limit, or has already surpassed it, you might want to have your system evaluated by an HVAC professional. Knowing where to begin or what to look for in a contractor and a new system can be overwhelming, so consider these tips as a guide for your purchase:
The seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER) rates how many BTU a unit will remove for each watt of electricity consumed. The higher the SEER, the less you spend on operating costs. So checking any unit you are considering for this rating will help you narrow down your options and find a system that will save you money in the long run on energy bills.
Your contractor should help you decide which rebates or incentives can work best for your financial needs and situation. Rebate programs often specify a certain minimum efficiency rating or energy conservation measures to be eligible. It all can get a little overwhelming, so having an expert HVAC technician to help you wade through the information will help you to find out what works for you.
