This is a great question that we get asked <\/span>all the time.<\/b> There is no straightforward answer for this, it depends on a variety of factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at some reasons why <\/span>you would want to replace your furnace<\/a> at the same time<\/b> as your air conditioner.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your current system is not sized currently<\/span> \u2013 This is a big one and can cause several issues. Excessive noise, premature breakdowns, and a lack of comfort. This often was the case in our parents\u2019 or grandparents\u2019 homes growing up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your existing furnace<\/a> is older, and you would be looking at replacing it in the next couple of years anyways<\/span><\/span> \u2013 If you have an older furnace<\/a> that you will most likely be looking at replacing within the next couple of years anyway, then now is the time to change it. You will save on labor costs and inflation costs by doing it at the same time. We offer a variety of payment plans to help make this affordable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Extended warranties<\/span><\/span> \u2013 Often you can get an extended warranty on a full system, furnace<\/a> + AC, when they are installed at the same time, bringing your warranty from 2yrs to 5yrs or even 10yrs. This will save you money and give you peace of mind for years to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Communicating system<\/span><\/span> \u2013 The newer, high SEER AC units, being 18+ SEER, require variable speed and communicating. They require matching equipment. The new technology is designed to constantly communicate between the thermostat, furnace, and air conditioner.\u00a0 These systems are the best on the market for achieving peak efficiency and comfort level.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now for the reasons why <\/span>you wouldn\u2019t want to replace your furnace<\/a> at the same time<\/b> as your air conditioner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you plan on moving soon<\/span><\/span> \u2013 If you plan on moving in the very near future, then it doesn\u2019t make financial sense to spend the extra money on the new furnace unless you are looking to add some additional value to the sale of your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a newer furnace <\/span><\/span>– If you\u2019ve already installed a new furnace<\/a> recently, then there\u2019s no need to replace it, if it\u2019s sized correctly and will work with your new AC of choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finances are tight <\/span><\/span>– With everything going on in the world today, this is completely understandable. If you\u2019re already living on a tight budget then waiting until you\u2019re able to comfortably afford to replace your furnace<\/a> may be in your best interest, even if you end up having to spend a little more. Remember, we also have some great payment options, including 0%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
