Upgrading your HVAC system is one of the largest periodic expenses you face as a homeowner in Greenville, SC. But the money you spend isn’t just thrown away because upgrading your HVAC system benefits you and your family every day. Here are three reasons why you should upgrade your system today.
Improve Your System’s Efficiency
If your air conditioner is over 10 years old, it’s not as efficient as units sold today. Older air conditioners may use twice as much electricity to deliver the same amount of cool air as a new, efficient unit. This means that a new HVAC unit will lower your power bills every month that it’s working — and in South Carolina, that can be the majority of the year.
Right-Size Your System
You might not know that air conditioners come in different sizes meant to fit different home sizes. But air conditioners aren’t one-size-fits-all, and an incorrectly-sized system can lead to wasted money and an uncomfortable home.
If your air conditioner is too big, it will cycle on and off more than it should as it cools your home quickly, leading to wasted energy and increased wear and tear. On the other hand, if your air conditioner is too small, it will constantly run and never get your house comfortable. Installing a new system gives you a chance to get one that is the right size for your home.
Raise Your Home’s Resale Value
An old HVAC system can be a drag on your home’s value when you’re looking to sell. New home buyers want an efficient system and don’t want the prospect of a big expenditure right after they buy the house. On the other hand, you can recoup many of the costs of a new system if the system is only a few years old when you sell.
