3 Questions to Ask When Buying a New HVAC Equipment

Finding the best HVAC equipment for your home’s comfort needs is not an easy task. It is a significant investment, after all, so you’d want all bases covered. It all starts with asking the right questions. Cardinal Heating & Air, your local provider of HVAC and indoor air quality products and services, lists three of them here:

1. Does My HVAC System Need Repair or Replacement?

It is one of the common HVAC-related questions homeowners ask and among the most difficult to answer. While every situation is unique, you have to remember a few guidelines first. If a heat pump or AC unit is manufactured and installed no later than 2006, then it is due for a replacement because it is not as energy-efficient as the later models.

2.  What Size Unit Does My Home Need?

The HVAC unit’s size relative to your home’s square footage and other factors determines its performance and the potential energy savings you can get whenever you use it. It might cost you more if the AC is too big for your home. If it’s too small, it will have to work twice as hard to keep your indoors cool or warm. Your heating and air conditioning repair contractor can take the right measurements and calculations to help you choose an HVAC system that’s correctly sized for your home.

3. What HVAC System Is Right for My Home?

The answer to this question depends on your budget and the comfort levels you’re trying to meet. Higher-end systems may have a high price point, but they’re more efficient and can provide even temperatures no matter where you are inside your home. If you are planning to be in your home for a considerable number of years, these are worthy investments to have.
