Why Should I Replace My Existing Heating or Air Conditioning System?

Why Should I Replace My Existing Heating or Air Conditioning System?

Posted by
Ed Miller on Thu, Dec 20, 2012

Old, inefficient air-conditioner/heating units cost significantly more every month to operate. Oftentimes, the inefficient AC units allow harmful air to remain in the house.

It may be time to consider replacing your older air-conditioning and heating system if it is inefficient, old, or in need of significant repair. With new technology, today’s air-conditioning systems can operate at 60% more efficiency than AC units that were manufactured just a decade ago. In addition, if your unit was not properly maintained through the years and suffers significant wear and tear, it can actually reduce the realized efficiency of your unit, costing you a lot more to operate.

Repair or Replace?

If you been concerned your monthly utility bills have been on the rise, or that your AC unit requires expensive repairs, it might be much less expensive to endure the cost of replacing the unit instead of operating it through another season. Even if financing your AC purchase is the only way you can afford it, the monthly savings on your electric bill might actually save money over wasting electricity operating your inefficient system.

While it is true that an AC unit is one of the most expensive purchases you will ever make for your home, it is essential to have an efficient unit that operates smoothly. Not only will it provide comfortable air year-round, it will produce better air quality while reducing your energy bills.

Tips to Follow

Now that it is time to purchase a new AC unit, there are a few tips you can follow and they include:

    • Select a Trusted Contractor – Contractors that specialize in the HVAC field can fully comprehend all the ins and outs of air-conditioning and heating. Choose an HVAC contractor that is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for references.
    • Listen to the Contractor’s Advice – Choose an installer that you trust. They should provide air-conditioning units that offer the best warranty.
    • Purchase the AC Unit That Fits Your Home – There is no need to purchase an AC unit that is too large for the size of your home, or too small for that matter. The best model of air conditioner for your home should be determined by the climate you live in, and the placement of your air ducts.

Once you do the math on how much money you spend every month heating and cooling the air in your home, it might become quite obvious why you need to replace the unit. Replacing old equipment with new can improve the integrity of your air conditioning system, provide cleaner air and reduce your utility bills every month.

Customer Reviews

This was an exceptional experience! We woke up to our A/C on but not cooling (it was 6am and already 81 in the house). The person who set up our appointment was very nice, able to get us seen same-day, and let us know of some options to help save us money.

-Christy Cormier

The service from Sam and Chris was excellent! They were very knowledgeable and professional. They were able to answer all of my questions and completed all of my electrical issues. I will definitely use them again for future jobs. Thank you!

-Adrienne Beal

From the get go I could tell that the Snyder employees were truly professionals and didn’t push to make sales like other companies I’ve talked to my whole life. They took the time to explain so that I could make a decision. The installers and later the duct cleaners were very respectful during their work here. Thank you.

-Mike Daniels

Snyder Heating and AC is dependable, always on time and techs have always been courteous and knowledgeable. Emanuel was a great addition to the company. He was friendly and knew what he was doing. Thank you for great service.

-Linda Ackley

Snyder came in and did a total overhaul of our duct system. They had a great knowledge of what to do to make our home so comfortable! The technicians were all so professional and took great care of us! We’re so thankful for their expertise. Great and easy communication with the call center. We will definitely use them again!

-Crystal Hill

Snyder provided an amazing experience from start to finish. Most of us dread getting estimates with pressuring salespeople. Erik was a great guy, explained all my options and didn’t try to pressure me to act quickly! Justin followed up with my husband and I to offer further assistance in our decision. Again, no pressure, just helped with our follow up questions.

-Michele Bauer

Very prompt, professional, courteous, and cleaned up after repair. Had water line break in my front yard and no pressure. Very pleased and would highly recommend Snyder for all your plumbing, and AC needs. Thank you for making a rough morning get better with ease and professionalism.

-Chuck Jr.

Snyder was easy to get in contact with and had availability the next day. Clint came out and needed some parts so had to reschedule us for the next day for installation. He did a great job converting our old 3 knob shower to one. Looks great! Professional and courteous. 100% recommend this company, especially Clint.
