There are
several factors to consider when shopping for a new HVAC system. The ideal heating and cooling system will be
tailored to serve the needs of your home.
One important factor that many people do not think of is indoor air
quality. This is usually addressed
later, when it comes time for furnace and duct cleaning service.
Some things
the heating and cooling technician will need to know when determining the type
of system that will best suit your needs include:
Total
square feet of the home
Style,
ranch, colonial, tri-level, etc…
Need
heating only, cooling only, or both
Fuel
source; electricity, natural gas, oil, propane
New install
or replacing an old unit
Is the
existing system a rooftop unit or other packaged product?
Is duct
work in place or can it be installed?
Indoor air
quality concerns including pollen, dust or pet dander, asthma or allergy
triggers, dry air or static electricity, power outages or intermittent power,
mold or other indoor air contaminants, stale air or odors, consistent
temperature throughout the home
Budget is
very important; however, know that the cheapest may not be the best. If energy conservation is a concern, spending
more on a high-efficiency unit will may be worth it in the long run with energy
savings. Read Energy Star Air Conditioning to
