Benefits to HVAC Installation and Upgrade


Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) has grown to become one of the best and most important technologies used in residential homes and commercial areas due to the many benefits it provides. There are many different types of HVAC units to choose from but most the basic HVAC installations will provide duct work throughout the entire home with energy being produced by a condensor, which is usually located outside. All of your heating and energy needs will now be produced by a single HVAC condensor depending on the size of the home. We have outlined all of the major reasons why you should consider installing or upgrading your current heating and cooling systems to an HVAC system.

  • Energy Efficiency - The United States Dept. of Energy estimates that 25-40% of energy going into a residential home is wasted. A proper HVAC can significantly reduce energy waste and save you money on monthly utility bills. Many units are ENERGY STAR qualified resulting in additional savings. Many individuals report saving money on their heating and cooling bills by installing an HVAC system. In addition, you never need to put an a/c unit in the window and let all of that energy leak out once you switch to HVAC.
  • Air Quality - Many people don't realize that an HVAC system acts as an air filtration system and delivers superior air quality throughout the entire home while it cools and heats the household. Both indoor and outdoor air is circulated and filtered through the HVAC condenser before being pushed through the home as cool or hot air, which greatly increases the air quality within the home. Individuals with allergies to dust, pollen, or any type of pollutants will see a very noticeable difference in their health and breathing due to the increase in air quality provided by HVAC systems.
  • Free Space - Once you install an HVAC system you can eliminate all other heating and cooling systems from the home because the HVAC unit is the only resource you will need going forward. This means that you can get rid of those big clunky wall air conditioners and fans, and eliminate radiator, baseboard, or any other type of heating sources you may currently use. Getting rid of these old fashioned energy resources will free up a bunch of space through each room and save you money at the same time!
  • Automate Temperature Control - A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning unit installation comes with digital control panels that allow you to specify the desired temperature you would like in each room. You can program the system to change the temperature based on hour of the day or day of week and it will automatically adjust the room temperature based on your programming! You never have to worry about turning up or down the thermostat when you wake up or go to bed!
  • Home Equity Value - In addition to all of the benefits mentioned above, a new HVAC installation will greatly increase the value of your home!

The typical residential HVAC job will take 2-3 days to complete depending on the size of the home and the work needed to facilitate the project. A professionally licensed and insured HVAC company should be hired for your home improvement upgrade. The contractor can also help you determine the best unit to choose based on size, location, and needs. Be sure to get free quotes from multiple local HVAC contractors before making a decision.
