Is It Time to Buy a New HVAC System? Bartlett Heating and Air Has Some Tips!

The temperatures are slowly rising and the snow is starting to melt. That means one thing, spring is just about here! Spring is a good time to replace your furnace and AC if you were in the market to do so. You ask why would I replace my furnace when winter is about to end? There are a couple good reasons to replace in the spring. First, when you need to replace your air conditioner for the coming summer it is best to replace both systems at once. This ensures each performs at its best ability because the AC and furnace were made to run together. When you run one new piece of equipment with an old one you are significantly reducing the efficiency. Some states allow rebates and tax credits when you replace both units at the same time with qualifying efficiency ratings. The dual units will reach the established efficiency rating when ran together. Some contractors give discounts or special offers when you have both the furnace and AC installed together. This way you save money and get more out of your purchase. Spring is the time where it is warm enough outside to be able to make sure the AC has the right amount of pressures it needs to function. When it is too cold outside we cannot fully check levels and Refrigerant pressure. Another thing you can look into when buying a new furnace and AC is a variable speed furnace. A variable speed furnace is one where you can adjust the motor speed to high or low based on your needs. When you have the blower on low it will still heat your home to the temperature you want it to, it will just take a little longer but will save you money in the process. This is useful on mild days when the temperature isn’t too low. If you want the home heated faster you can put the blower on high and warm your home faster. This is helpful on those horribly cold days. When coupled with a programmable thermostat you have way more flexibility to have the furnace and AC run at desired temperatures for different times and days helping you save more money!
