When it comes to the replacement of home appliance the most expensive becomes the HVAC unit. You understand that you will buy a new one after all. But you want to give that appliance the last chance. But how would you know that day X comes? And why have you to replace it?
The period of service of a basic HVAC unit is between 10 and 15 years. But you can extend it with regular preventative maintenance through PHD Heating & Cooling. But if your unit is old, heating and cooling service couldn't work like it did when it was new. So the best choice, in that case, is a replacement.
Modern units are more productive and efficient that the old ones. If you start to notice that energy bills are rising every summer, it is time to think about an HVAC unit replacement. A new energy-efficient system will save from 20% to 30% energy every month. Do you wish to save more money? You can ask a specialist to look at your ductwork. You will be surprised, but the basic HVAC system may loose from 20% to 30% of its energy to leaky ducts. The only way to save more energy and money is to repair cracks and seals in the ductwork.
Does your old unit need repair? But you don't want to pay too much? Some technical specialists may offer you to use Freon R-22. It is the most common coolant that has been using in air conditioners for many years. But it has a lot of disadvantages. First of all, the cost of R-22 was soared to $80-120 a pound. Secondly, it is a previous technology. HVAC manufacturers cancelled the production of units with R-22 in 2010. Furthermore, the production of R-22 itself will end in 2020. So we don't recommend using or repairing the unit with R-22. It's time to replace your HVAC system.
When a specialist chooses an HVAC unit for your house, he considers all aspects of the building to offer you the most effective system. If you decided to upgrade your home for being more energy-efficient, there is a risk that your existing system may be too powerful for your home. In that case, you may need an HVAC unit replacement.
