REPAIR OR REPLACE GUIDE

Which Option Is Best For Your Home Comfort?

This tool is a resource to help you determine if repair is the best option or is it time to consider something new. Answer some simple questions to help us learn more about your current system. Depending on your responses, we’ll recommend repairing or suggest it’s time to consider a new home comfort system. If replace is the best option, we’ll show you product choices based on how you answered the questions regarding your home, environment, and family. This is NOT a precise estimate for pricing. As professional installers, we will need to inspect and conduct load calculations on your home to provide a price estimate designed for your specific space.

A furnace works by blowing heated air through ducts that deliver the warm air to rooms throughout the house via air registers or grills. This type of heating system is called a ducted warm-air or forced warm-air distribution system. It can be powered by electricity, natural gas, or fuel oil.

Boilers generate warm air through the heated water in a tank. They don't require ducts to circulate warm air throughout the house. Instead, heated water is circulated through pipes to different end points located inside the house that are typically baseboard heaters or radiators.

A heat pump is part of a heating and cooling system and is installed outside your home. Like an air conditioner, it can cool your home, but it’s also capable of providing heat. In cooler months, a heat pump pulls heat from the cold outdoor air and transfers it indoors, and in warmer months, it pulls heat out of indoor air to cool your home.

A package unit is the all-in-one heating and cooling system for homes that don't have a lot of room indoors for either a furnace and coil, or an air handler. Package units will contain all of their parts in one outdoor unit that sits on either the roof or to the side of a building.

If your equipment is less than ten years old, check your warranty for existing coverage. New equipment must be registered with the manufacturer at the time of purchase.

Proper maintenance is key to efficient operation. According to Energy.gov, the difference between the energy consumption of a well-maintained system and severely neglected systems range from 10% to 25%. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your home's comfort system.

If your equipment is making noises you haven't heard before, don't wait to have it checked. The problem may be something that can be easily repaired. Ignoring the issue can lead to long-term problems and more expensive repairs.

If your HVAC equipment is more than 10 years old, it may have become less efficient. As much as HALF of your energy cost goes to heating and cooling your home.
