Here are some things to consider when beginning the process of replacing or installing a new HVAC system.
Which Components of an HVAC Systems Are Being Installed?
Because St Louis weather delivers extreme temperatures in both the Summer and Winter, both the heating and cooling components of an HVAC system are equally important. While some homeowners prefer to only have either an AC unit or furnace replaced at a given time, there are many benefits to replacing them both simultaneously. For example, many of the new high-efficiency air conditioners require a variable speed blower in your furnace. If you decide to upgrade the efficiency of your AC unit while keeping your current furnace, there is a chance your new air conditioner will not be as efficient as it could be if you were to upgrade the furnace with it.

Does a High Efficiency HVAC System Make Sense?
Right now we are currently in the golden age of advancements in high-efficiency HVAC technology. Many of the new systems now operate at a higher performance while using less energy to do so. What that means for homeowners are better indoor comfort and lower energy bills. In addition, many of the local energy companies and manufacturers offer rebates and incentives when you purchase high-efficiency HVAC systems. Our team works with homeowners to help weigh the cost benefits of high-efficiency HVAC systems by providing the upfront cost and savings vs the amount of money they could potentially save on their energy bills by installing high-efficiency equipment.
What is Considered High Efficiency?

What Size Space Are You Heating and Cooling?
You would be surprised at the number of homes in St Louis that have air conditioners or furnaces that are either too big or too small for their home.

Having a wrong-sized system can cause it to work harder to achieve desired indoor temperatures leading to an increased chance of system failure and higher energy bills.
