Today, it’s more important than ever before to do your part in helping to prevent air pollution and conserving the earth’s natural resources. If your air conditioning or heating system is over 10 years old, it probably consumes a lot of electricity. Replacing an outdated air conditioner or heater not only helps to protect the environment, but can also cut your energy bills significantly. We recommend that you consider a replacement, even if your older equipment has not completely broken down.
How Much Can You Save?
Before homeowners upgrade their outdated heating and air conditioning systems, they want to know how much money they can save. This is difficult to estimate, since it depends largely on the age of the system you’ve had in your home already, and the type and rating of the system you want to replace it with. However, in most cases, the savings are well worth it.
Upgrading from an older air conditioning system with an energy efficiency rating (SEER—seasonal energy efficiency ratio) of 10 to a system with a SEER of 17 or higher comes with an average annual savings of well over $1000. Estimate how much you can save in your home heating and cooling bills here, but remember, you can only save if you have a qualified technician install your new system properly.
Can You Afford a New Air Conditioning or Heating System?
Upgrading to a more efficient air conditioning system or heater certainly comes with a cost. However, in most cases, the monthly bills make up for this over the course of several years. This is especially true if you work with a contractor who offers financing options, such as those that work with the HERO financing program. Your monthly payments and your energy bills combined may end up lower than your energy bills were before.
