Important Factors When Purchasing a New HVAC Unit

Purchasing a new HVAC unit is one of the biggest investments within a home. The lifespan of an air conditioning system is usually 10 to 20 years and controls the comfort of your house. Here are 6 things to consider when making this important purchase.

 

  1. SEER Values | SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The higher the SEER value the more efficient a unit is. Federal regulations require a minimum SEER value of 13 on all newly installed HVAC units. Depending on where you live, you might benefit from a higher SEER rating.
  2. Proper Unit Size | Homes come in all shapes and sizes so it is important to find the right size unit to keep your home comfortable. A “ton” is a measurement of an HVAC unit’s cooling power. Consider these factors when deciding the size of your unit: insulation, location and size of home. Your AC contractor can properly size your home for you so you can make an educated purchase.
  3. HVAC Contractor | One of the most important decisions you will make when preparing to purchase a new HVAC system—who will you trust with your purchase? Your HVAC contractor is responsible for answering your questions, guiding you during the purchase process, properly installing your unit and then maintaining it.
  4. HVAC Maintenance Plan | Did you know that maintaining your system is required to keep your warranty intact? A maintenance plan is the best way to ensure your 
  5. Incentives/ Rebate for Model | Both states and manufacturers offer rebates to entice sales and offset costs. Don’t miss these savings! 
  6. Pair with a Programmable Thermostat | Thermostats are at the top of their game. Smart, programmable thermostats are energy and money saver and can also increase the lifespan of your HVAC unit.

What is a SEER Rating?

Shopping for a new HVAC unit can be overwhelming—especially if you do not know understand the lingo. What does energy efficient mean? What is a SEER rating?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a metric used to measure how much energy is needed to provide a specific cooling output. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the air conditioner is. Higher-SEER models ae more expensive up front, but end up saving you money month to month vs. less efficient models.

The Department of Energy recommends a minimum SEER rating of 13. Depending on where you live, you might need a system with a higher rating. In Florida, a 14 SEER unit is recommended.

8 Signs it's Time for a New HVAC System

You made it through the Summer, but your HVAC system is on the brink? Are you unsure if your unit needs repairs or replacing? Here are 8 signs that it is time to invest in a new HVAC system for your home.

  1. Blowing Warm Air | If your home isn’t staying cool because your system is pushing out warm air, you have a problem. This is a sign that your HVAC unit is in need of repair. The lack of cool air could mean your compressor is failing or that your Freon levels are low. This is a sign that it might be time for a new unit.
  2. Poor Air Flow | If air isn’t circulating through your home and you don’t feel consistent cool air coming from your AC vents, the unit’s compressor could be going out. If one area of your home is cool and other sections are warm there could be issues with your duct work. Debris, dust and dander can clog your ducts obstructing air flow. This is bad for your system and your family’s health.
  3. Thermostat Issues | Sometimes the issue is not with the unit itself, but with the thermostat. One telling sign that your thermostat is causing the problem is if one part of your home is extremely cold where another area stays at the same temperature.
  4. System Leaks and Unwanted Moisture | If you see moisture around or leaking from your HVAC unit that is a major red flag. Your refrigerant could be leaking which could cause health concerns for you and your loved ones. If you discover pools of water near your air conditioning unit, it could mean your drain line is clogged or broken—which can be easily repaired by an HVAC expert.
  5. Abnormal Sounds & Odors | Listen closely. If you are hearing squeaking, grinding, groaning or grating sounds coming from your HVAC system, you have a problem. There is a slew of issues that can cause these noises. It is important to have an expert look at your system immediately. Failure to repair the unit could result in costly problem. Strange odors are also an indicator that your unit needs attention. From burned out wiring to mold, smell is an immediate warning sign that there is something wrong with your ventilation system.
  1. Increase in Electricity Bill | If your electricity bills drastically increases without any obvious reason for doing so, that is a strong indicator that your HVAC unit needs attention or replacing.
  2. HVAC Unit is more than 10 years old | When your system reaches its 10th birthday, it is usually time to upgrade your ventilation system. At this point, units tend to start needing major repairs.
  3. R-22 Freon | If your unit uses R-22 Freon, it’s time to upgrade. Freon is being phased out by the federal government. Because of this, the cost of Freon is steadily rising. Eventually you will have to replace your unit for a newer version that runs with a new refrigerant (R410A).
