It can be tough to find the ideal time to upgrade your existing HVAC system to a new model, especially when you factor in budgeting. On top of the upfront cost of purchasing a new system, you’ll also have to consider the significant power consumption which tacks on a lot of money to your energy bills. This, of course, makes buying a new HVAC system a weighty investment.
However, while getting an upgraded system can indeed be expensive upfront, did you know that getting rid of your outdated one by proxy saves you money in the long run? Let’s take a look at how replacing your HVAC system can actually be great for your bank account.
Lowers Your Energy Bills
It’s likely that your HVAC system consumes more power than any other appliance in your home or office, but newer systems are designed to be far more energy-efficient than older models. With this advancement in technology, new units consume less power - offering a far superior performance. All of this adds up, and eventually you’ll start to see huge savings on your energy bills that will save you lots of money over the course of a year.
Fewer & Less Expensive Repairs
Every HVAC unit requires servicing and repairs as it ages; you might even need to replace some parts eventually. This is an inevitable part of owning a HVAC system, even if you’ve taken very good care of it over the years. However, with a newer system, everything is fresh and working at its most efficient. As such, you’ll need far fewer repair callouts as the breakdowns will be much less frequent. On top of this, newer systems come with extended warranties that offer protection against repair bills for at least a few years. This means that, if anything does go wrong during this time, the repair costs will be pretty minimal.
Increase Home Resale Value
A newly upgraded HVAC system can add considerable value to your property. This is great news if you’re planning to put your home up for sale soon, or even in the next 5 or so years. Knowing that the current HVAC unit will require less maintenance and lower energy bills down the line will be incredibly attractive to prospective buyers.
