Air conditioners don’t work for a lifetime, despite the brand or quality. If you’re prepping for air conditioning replacement too? It differs based on your situation.
Here are some aspects to consider, plus the advantages of avoiding a mismatched furnace and air conditioner.
Things to Ask When Thinking About Air Conditioning Replacement and Furnace Replacement at the Same Time
Here are the most important questions to answer before making your decision:
- How old is your furnace? Furnaces can last up to 20 years, while air conditioners last for about 15 years. If your furnace is more than a 15 years old, we recommend replacing it alongside your air conditioner. If it’s much less than 15 years old than this, you can probably wait.
- What kind of air conditioner are you installing? Many homeowners are swapping out their old, single-stage air conditioners for variable-speed upgrades. This uses less energy and enhances comfort by operating at several speeds. Air conditioners depend on the furnace blower to move air. So, if you have a single-stage furnace, you’ll have to install a new one to get the total comfort and advantages of a matched variable-speed system.
- Can your furnace give the appropriate air flow? Your furnace needs to provide the appropriate amount of air to keep your house comfy. A modern air conditioner might require a different indoor coil. So, it’s important your furnace is properly sized for the new air conditioner. An Expert technician, like one from Jack Nelson Service Experts, can figure out that static pressure of your system and give the right recommendation.
- Is the installation tricky? You’ll make it easier on your tech and your wallet if you replace both systems together.
Why You Should Install a New Furnace and Air Conditioner at the Same Time
If your furnace and air conditioner match and are correctly sized, there aren’t usually any large immediate drawbacks. A mismatched setup is frequently not permanent until the other system stops working. You can circumvent the band-aid repair by replacing your furnace and air conditioner simultaneously. And, you’ll reap these pluses:
- Improved efficiency: By “matching” your air conditioner and furnace, you’ll guarantee everything runs at peak efficiency, making your home more comfortable and reducing your long-term energy bills.
- Reduced HVAC repairs: If you replace your air conditioner but keep the old furnace, you never know when it could malfunction for good. In the interim, you’ll pay for repairs that could have covered a modern furnace.
- Possible discounts: You can spend less on labor by having both replaced during the same appointment. And you might even qualify for an exclusive deal because you’re installing new heating and cooling equipment.
