What is the age of your equipment?

Equipment Age and Life Expectancy

Most equipment is designed for a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years.

VS.

Older equipment is prone to the following:

  • More expensive repairs, such as compressors or heat exchangers
  • Much lower energy efficiency vs. today's standards
  • Reduced performance due to clogged or corroding coils

What is the estimated cost of needed repairs?

Equipment Repair

Repairing existing equipment can be a good decision as long as:

  • The cost of the repair is less than 30% of the cost of new equipment
  • The rest of the system is in excellent operating condition

Otherwise, the cost of the repair would be better invested in a new system.

Is the equipment still under warranty?

What is the SEER efficiency rating of your equipment?

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is an energy efficiency rating for air conditioners. The higher the SEER, the better the energy performance, the more you save.

Type of refrigerant used?

Has the air conditioner compressor been replaced recently?

What is the AFUE efficiency rating of your equipment?

Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency

The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) is a measure of a gas furnace's efficiency in converting fuel to energy, by projecting the average thermal efficiency for a complete heating season. A higher AFUE rating means greater energy efficiency.

Has the heat exchanger been replaced recently?

Does your equipment turn on and off repeatedly during the day?

Do you have problem rooms that seem to never get warm or cool?

Is the turning on of your equipment noticeable, disturbing or causing annoying vibrations in your home?

How long do you expect to stay in this home?

Length of Residency

If you are moving within the next year or two and believe investing in a new home comfort system will improve the value of your home, you should consider making the investment. If you plan to live in your current residence for many years, it may be wise to invest in your future comfort.
