How An Updated HVAC System Benefits You
HVAC units can work well for a long time, but as they age they run into more and more problems—problems that may not be cost-effective to fix. Inefficiencies and frequent breakdowns may be draining your wallet and aggravating health problems. If your HVAC equipment is over 10 years old, it may be to your benefit to upgrade to a new system.
A New System Reduces Your Energy Bill
Your older system is most likely running inefficiently due to normal wear and tear over time. This inefficiency means it needs to work harder to keep your home comfortable, costing you more money on energy bills. Modern HVAC units are designed with efficiency in mind, so they’ll use less energy to heat and cool your home, reducing your utility bills.
A New System Reduces Your Energy Bill
Older HVAC systems can become filled with dust and dirt from the years of circulating air. They are also more prone to harbor dangerous bacteria, mold and fungi. When any of these particles are circulated by your HVAC unit, they can result in bad indoor air quality, which may lead to health issues such as:
- Increased allergy symptoms.
- Agitation or worsening of existing asthma.
- Coughing.
- Fatigue.
- Headaches.
- Sinus infections.
With the installation of a new HVAC system, the air quality in your home will be greatly increased, and you’ll be much less likely to suffer from problems associated with mold, mildew and contaminants gathering in your air conditioning and heating system.
