What to Look For When Upgrading Your Homes Heating and Cooling System

If your home's heating and cooling system is getting old and it's time to replace your furnace or air conditioner, here are a few things to consider when buying new systems.

1. Reliability

A furnace or air conditioner is a major investment. Do your research and go with a proven brand, and you'll reduce the chances of having problems down the road.

2. Efficiency

By choosing an EnergyStar-rated system, you'll save up to 30% on your annual heating and cooling costs.

3. Professional Installation

The most important day in the life of your air conditioner or furnace is the day it's installed. Proper sizing and correct installation are critical. Choose a heating and cooling company with experience and one that stands behind their work, now and down the road.

4. Air Quality

To reduce indoor pollution, consider attaching a whole-house air cleaner to your furnace or air handler. You can have peace of mind knowing your new system is capturing small contaminants that can cause health problems.
