Why Upgrade Your HVAC Equipment

Most homeowners wait until their heating and cooling system is on its last legs before they replace it. That’s a mistake. After the 10-year mark, your equipment starts to wear down. The energy bills go up, and the repairs become more frequent.

Unless your system is relatively new, replacing it while remodeling makes a lot of sense. The equipment you now have is based on the square footage of your home. If you are adding new living space, that equipment is going to work extra hard to keep you comfortable.

The same goes with your air ducts. Most ductwork, over time, tends to lose up to 30 percent of the airflow because of leaks and tears. A remodeling project allows you to seal those leaks and patch any tears.

Tightly sealed ductwork helps your equipment run more efficiently and improves your indoor air quality (IAQ). Be sure to ask about our convenient financing options that make it possible to create a dream home for your loved ones.

HVAC Remodeling Ideas

Plan ahead when it comes to upgrading your HVAC equipment. Think about adding new fan venting for your kitchen and bathrooms. Create a zone control system with your ductwork that allows you to set different temperature zones around your home. Take control of your energy use by upgrading to smart thermostats.

For a new addition, consider upgrading your furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump. You can also install a ductless mini split system in parts of your home without ductwork—such as the basement, garage, or attic.
