Consider replacing your system if it is old, inefficient, or in need of repair. Today systems are as much as 60% more efficient than those manufactured as little as ten years ago. In addition, if not properly maintained, wear and tear on a system can reduce its actual efficiency.

Suppose you are concerned about utility bills or are facing an expensive repair. In that case, consider replacing your system rather than enduring another costly season or paying to replace an expensive component. The utility cost savings of a new unit may provide an attractive return on your investment.

The average American spends $30,000.00 for a new car and only has it for four years. A new heating or cooling system should last you 15 - 20 years at a fraction of the cost of a new car, 1%- 3%. Many factors affect the price of a heating or cooling system, including the size of your home, the type and condition of the ductwork installed, and accessories you might need, such as a thermostat or an electronic air cleaner. We have a complete range of systems and accessories available to meet your needs.

Aside from replacing the new equipment, we will inspect several items and decide whether or not these items need to be repaired or replaced. These items include; ductwork, refrigerant piping, electrical service, wiring, thermostat, condensation piping, flue piping, flue terminations, chimney liner, slabs, filters, driers, registers, grills, drain pans, and evaporator coil.

Your local yellow pages will have a list of many heating and air conditioning companies and the internet. Remember, more prominent ads do not mean better service or products. Find three companies you think you'd like a bid from. Check out their website. Check with the BBB on their company rating; A+ is the best-rated company with the BBB. You should avoid them if the company is not listed with the BBB.

Call your city! Ask for the heating and cooling inspector. Question them on the companies you want to go with. These inspectors work every day with heating and cooling contractors. Ask if they are licensed in your city and permit their work. Do they come back quickly to make the required corrections issued by the inspector? How is their quality? After you have decided on your three companies, call them to set up your bid time.

How was the person who answered the phone? Did the salesperson show up at the time scheduled? Were all your questions answered? Feel free to call back with more questions if you have them. How soon do you need your new system, and can they install it within your time frame? Ask how many days they will need to install your new system.

Days = Labor Cost. If one company says three days and another says four, there may be a more significant amount included in the cost of labor. Ask why? Ask if the company is honest. Some guys work out of their garage. BEWARE of them. They may be gone tomorrow when you need them for service or have operation questions. Ask how many years they have been in business.

Higher costs and more advertising do not make a better product. Shop warranties! A bad product will not give you a good warranty, and it will cost too much. A product with a great warranty has confidence in its product, giving you the confidence needed to make your selection.
