A properly maintained heating and cooling system plays a vital role in providing a comfortable, healthy and energy efficient indoor environment for homes and businesses. Before investing in new furnace or air conditioning replacements, it is important to understand the relative value of each brand and model of equipment.

Repair or Replace?

Since furnaces and air conditioners are mechanical devices, they eventually require replacement regardless of how well they have been maintained. Particularly in instances where the equipment is 10 years or older, repeated failures can be costly and ultimately lead to health and safety issues. Older standing-pilot gas furnaces can develop cracked heat exchangers and leak poisonous carbon monoxide that can be potentially fatal. Any unit diagnosed with this condition should be immediately replaced.

Understanding SEER Ratings

Modern air conditioning equipment must meet a federal requirement of at least 13 SEER. The SEER rating is a measurement adopted by the Department of Energy to provide consumers with a way to compare the efficiency of different brands and models. Replacing an obsolete condensing unit with a new high SEER rated system can provide a very short payback on your initial investment. In fact, a new 13 SEER unit can save up to 30% on monthly cooling costs when compared to a 10 SEER system installed in the 1990s.
