Pros and Cons of a New HVAC System

Be sure to weigh the pros and cons before getting rid of your old system and buying a new HVAC system.

Pros and Cons of a New HVAC System

A good HVAC system should last between 20-25 years. If your current system is old, becoming noisy, and isn’t operating at top efficiency, it may be time to purchase a new HVAC system to replace your old one. As you start to look at new systems, you’ll want to keep the following pros and cons in mind.

Pros

• Consistent Temperature – the unit pushes cool air through vents that are found throughout the entire house, giving you cool air everywhere in your home.
• Filtered Air – not only are HVAC systems designed to provide cool air, they also work to provide cleaner air.
• Programmable Thermostat – you are able to program when the system turns on, as well as setting the temperature. This helps decrease energy costs by reducing the time your system is working.

Cons

• Cost – new systems are expensive to purchase and have installed.
• Replacement Filters – they will need to be replaced regularly. Many are inexpensive, but there are some brands and sizes which can get costly.

Replacing your old, malfunctioning HVAC, system will help keep your home cool. Before you make a decision on a new system, you will want to talk to a certified HVAC technician to help you determine, which system will benefit you the best.
