Why Replacing Your Air Conditioner and Furnace Together is Smart

Air conditioners don’t last for a lifetime, no matter the brand or quality. If you’re prepping for air conditioning replacement too? It varies based on your situation.

Here are some factors to think about, plus the advantages of not having a mismatched furnace and air conditioner.

Questions to Ask When Thinking Over Air Conditioning Replacement and Furnace Replacement at the Same Time

Here are key questions to answer prior to making your decision:

When was your furnace installed? Furnaces can run up to 20 years, while air conditioners run for about 15 years. If your furnace is more than a 15 years old, we recommend replacing it with your air conditioner. If it’s newer than this, you can usually hold on it.
What type of air conditioner are you getting? Lots of homeowners are replacing their old, single-stage air conditioners for variable-speed models. This uses less energy and enhances comfort by running at multiple speeds. Air conditioners depend on the furnace blower to distribute air. So, if you have a single-stage furnace, you’ll have to get a new one to get the complete comfort and perks of a matched variable-speed system.
Can your furnace give adequate air flow? Your furnace needs to deliver the right amount of air to keep your residence comfy. An updated air conditioner might call for a different indoor coil. So, it’s important your furnace is properly sized for the new air conditioner. An Expert technician, for instance one from Air Engineers Service Experts, can estimate that static pressure of your system and offer the correct suggestion.
Is the installation complicated? You’ll make it easier on your technician and your pocketbook if you install both components at the same time.

Why You Should Replace Your Furnace and Air Conditioner Together

If your furnace and air conditioner work together and are correctly sized, there aren’t often any major imminent consequences. A mismatched setup is often a stopgap until the other system stops working. You can circumvent the temporary fix by replacing your furnace and air conditioner simultaneously. And, you’ll reap these advantages:

Enhanced efficiency: By “matching” your air conditioner and furnace, you’ll ensure everything runs at peak efficiency, making your residence cozier and reducing your monthly utility costs.
Fewer HVAC repairs: If you put in new air conditioning but keep the old furnace, you never know when it might malfunction for good. Meanwhile, you’ll shell out for repairs that could have covered a modern furnace.
Potential discounts: You can pay less for labor by having both replaced during the same appointment. And you may even be authorized for a special deal because you’re buying new heating and cooling equipment.
