Sometimes it
seems like our homes are a moving target. Just as soon as you get one part of
the house just like you want it, something needs tending to in another area.
So, for most of us, we’re always on the lookout for the next big thing that’s
going to show up – invited or not – on our “home maintenance” to-do list.
Now, when
“air conditioning system replacement” comes up on that list, that’s quite a
significant situation. Home comfort systems are a sizable part of your home
investment, so it’s never something to take lightly. But when it’s time, three
things should be on your evaluation list:
System Age – If your heat pump or air conditioner is more than
10 years old, you could save up to 20 percent on cooling and heating costs if
you replaced it with a unit that has earned the Energy Star label.
Repair/Energy Costs – A home comfort system has what’s called
“operational” costs. If your system is racking up repair bills and guzzling up
your energy dollars, you may be overdue for an efficiency upgrade.
Uncomfortable Environment – A home comfort system is supposed to create a
comfortable home environment, right? Well, if you’re not comfortable, take
note. Are some rooms too hot or too cold? Does your home have humidity
problems? This could be a sign of poor or improper equipment operation.
