Making a big investment, such as a home heating and cooling system, can be daunting. Fortunately, there are several ways to save money when replacing your AC unit. One of the best options is to take out a home equity loan, as many air conditioning companies offer financing with a lower interest rate than credit cards. Before making a decision, compare all options (cash, credit card, and finance) to find the best deal.
When upgrading your HVAC system, look for units with the Energy Star label and a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER). The higher the rating, the more energy efficient it will be. These units can reduce energy consumption by up to 20%, significantly reducing your annual energy bill. If your air conditioning unit is 10 years old or older, it's best to replace it with a newer model. Look for ENERGY STAR certified units for lower energy costs and improved operational performance.
Additionally, these units reduce emissions and increase asset value. When replacing an air conditioning unit, consider its SEER rating. The higher the SEER value, the more energy efficient the system will be. When replacing an oven, look for a high-efficiency unit with an AFUE rating of 95%. This can result in staggering savings costs.
For example, moving from an old 10 SEER system to a 14 SEER system could save up to 29%. Long-term savings accumulate quickly and grow even faster as electricity rates fluctuate over time. The best time to buy an air conditioner is in spring (March and April) and the best time to install a new oven is in autumn (September and October). Investing in a new high-quality, energy efficient and reliable Crystal air conditioning unit will save you money in the long run and keep your home comfort at an optimal level. To save money and minimize problems with your air conditioner this summer, consider buying a new air conditioning system out of season. This way, you can research different models and brands of ovens and air conditioners and find a reputable and affordable HVAC contractor to do the job.
Many utilities, manufacturers, and government agencies offer discounts and incentives to homeowners who change their high-efficiency furnaces and air conditioners. Look for systems with a high SEER rating for air conditioning units and a high AFUE rating for furnaces. We also offer several add-ons for your HVAC equipment that can improve your home's indoor air quality (IAQ), such as electrostatic air filters, whole-house humidifiers, duct cleaning, UV type C lighting systems, and more.
