Burns & McBride - Heating and Air Conditioning Installations
Considering New Equipment
Whether your heating and air conditioning system is broken and is expensive to repair, it's simply too old and costs too much to operate, or you want to take advantage of numerous tax incentive programs for high efficiency equipment, your decision whether to replace it should be based on solid information.
A higher efficiency system may result in lower energy costs, eliminate expensive repairs, reduce maintenance costs and decrease the indoor temperature variance. More importantly, it will protect your investment with a longer and more complete warranty.
If you're having a tough time deciding whether or not to replace your heater or air conditioner, use these five simple rules:
- If our technicians have given you a Home Energy Report Card which shows it is time to consider new equipment, consider replacement.
- If you want to take advantage of Government rebate programs for high efficiency equipment, consider replacement.
- If you have noticed a significant increase over the past year in the cost of heating and cooling your home, consider replacement.
- If your heating or air conditioning system does not keep you as comfortable as it used to, consider replacement.
- If frequent breakdowns are causing you to take additional and unnecessary time off from work, consider replacement.
Once the decision is made to replace your heating and air conditioning equipment, choose several reputable local contractors to meet and to verify their qualifications. Talk to others who have used their services.
