Benefits of Upgrading an Outdated HVAC Unit

No matter what season it is, we depend greatly on our heater and air conditioner to work on demand. If yours is aging, you need to call an HVAC service to inspect the system. It may even be time for an upgrade. At Central York Corp, we have you covered. Read on to find some reasons why it may be beneficial to upgrade your old unit with a new, energy-efficient model. 

Save Money Year-Round

If you've been on a budget plan with your utility company, it can really save money and help you track monthly expenses. Have you noticed it fluctuating or going up considerably? It may be more than just rising oil or gas prices. It could be your furnace or air conditioner is working harder than it needs to. Upgrading to a new unit can help you save money year-round on heating and cooling costs. 

One of the biggest ways to incur savings is by installing a heat pump unit with a good SEER rating. SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, indicates the energy output over a particular season. For example, you can find the ratio of your system by dividing the amount of cool air output in the summer by the energy in Watt-Hours. A similar rating for heat efficiency is HSPF (heat seasonal performance ratio). The higher the number, the more efficient the model is. Most residential forced gas furnaces will also list an efficiency ratio on their products. 

A new unit combined with insulated ductwork and other weatherization upgrades will make it easier and cheaper to heat and cool throughout the year.

A Smarter Home Space 

Technology is evolving constantly and homes are going automated. Your heating and cooling system should be no exception. Home automation allows you to create a smarter living space that you can easily control. Using a central home hub or your mobile device, you can adjust home temperatures with ease. The reason for many high-energy bills in the summer and winter is that the unit must run longer to reach a comfortable temperature. This drives energy usage up.

Consider incorporating appliances and lights to a smart home hub, which gives you more control of your overall energy usage. Adding a programmable thermostat can also make your new HVAC unit work efficiently during both winter and summer. Most new units are compatible with home automation systems. We can install a unit and other appliances tailored to your household needs. 

A Zoned HVAC System

Many older HVAC models run off one thermostat. This means the unit turns on and blows the same amount of air out of the ductwork to each room until it reaches the set temperature. Similar to smart home technology, a zoned HVAC system works to target each room or area individually. Using a zone control panel, you can set up specific temperature settings for each room based on need. Don't care to heat the laundry room or guest bedroom? A zoned HVAC system unit can help you tailor specific energy needs. This is a good cost-savings measure throughout the year. 

Replacing an old unit is a valuable upgrade to your home. It provides a more energy-efficient space that is easier to manage and control. You can also regulate temperatures and create a more inviting living environment. Contact us today to go over your heating and cooling needs.
