If your system is 10 to 12 years old or you start having frequent issues it may be time to replace it.

Air conditioning and heating equipment consume about 44% of a home's energy bill. Today's ENERGY STAR qualified systems are as much as 60% more efficient than 10-year-old equipment.

In new homes or remodels, a central home comfort system is the best solution for overall comfort and superior indoor air quality.

Look for a programmable thermostat for accurate, reliable, energy-saving performance. For added convenience, a WiFi Capable thermostat may be your best option. It is best to discuss these options with your technician.

Get solid advice from an expert. Have a technician out to analyze your current system to see if it meets the necessary requirements for the space in your home.

Every system is different. After a thorough inspection of your components, your contractor will provide a rundown of what you need to replace and what you can keep.

That depends on the house and the system. While air conditioners and gas furnaces require different components, the common denominator is ductwork, which must be properly sized and zoned for proper system performance. Your contractor can evaluate your existing setup and tell you how simple your installation will be.

An air handler is most often used in conjunction with a heat pump. The heat pump uses refrigeration to draw warm air from outside and distribute through the air handler into the home when it is cold outside. It is supplemented with electric heat when it is really cold. When it is warm outside, the heat pump carries the warm air from inside the home and draws it outside. This process is done through thermal transfer.

Indoor air can be from five to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Adding humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation systems, UV lights, air scrubbers, and air ionizer technologies can dramatically improve your indoor air quality.
