Picture yourself in this situation. The furnace has finally called it quits after 20 years of somewhat reliable service. You call Four Seasons to schedule your free in-home estimate on a new system, and the salesman arrives to do an assessment of your home heating needs. He takes a step outside and notices that your air conditioner is the same age as your furnace. He comes back inside and suggests that you now replace the air conditioner along with the furnace. Before jumping to the conclusion that this salesman is full of it or that he is just trying to maximize his profits, you should take a moment to consider the many benefits that come from replacing the entire system at once rather than replacing it in pieces. These benefits include:
- System Efficiency: Whenever you replace just one component in a system, the older units limit the efficiency of the new system. There have been drastic improvements in the energy efficiency of heating and cooling units, and replacing both systems at the same time will allow you to maximize the efficiency of both units.
- Savings: When you maximize the energy efficiency of your units, you maximize your savings as well! Also, there is a good chance that you will get that air conditioner at a discounted price during the off season.
- Warranty Coverage: Your new furnace will come equipped with a warranty that will protect you from the high cost of repairs for years and years to come. Replacing the air conditioner with the furnace ensures that your entire system is covered by a warranty and not just part of it.
- Equipment Age: If your 25 year old furnace broke down, it is only a matter of time before your 25 year old air conditioner breaks down too! You could eliminate the hassle of going without air conditioning on a hot Chicago summer day, and replace both the furnace and the air conditioner this winter.
When you have a matched system operating in your home you will experience increased comfort, savings, and reliability. Call Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning today to learn more about how you can benefit from having a matched furnace and air conditioner in your home.
