Even the best-maintained HVAC system will require replacement. If your HVAC system is aging and not providing the levels of service you expect (or needs consistent repairs), replacing it may be the best solution. When selecting a new HVAC system, one of the most important things to keep in mind is the HVAC features of the unit you’re considering for your home.
Three HVAC Features to Look For
1. A High Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) Rating
Efficiency is an important consideration for your future HVAC purchase. A high SEER rating indicates that a particular HVAC unit provides high-efficiency performance. A more efficient HVAC unit providers better cooling and can also save on cooling costs over the years. Inefficient units use more power, thus increasing costs, and they don’t provide the level of cooling a higher-efficiency unit provides.
2. Air Filter Location
Changing the air filter is one of the most important HVAC features and upkeep items. When updating your overall HVAC system, note the air-filter locations. As a common household task, you should change your filter every three months or so, so you want to ensure the filters are accessible.
3. Zoning System
If you have a large home or a home with multiple floors, a zoning system may be the best solution for effectively cooling your home. Zoning divides your home into separate areas, each with its own temperature settings. Zoning keeps your home more comfortable and can also save money as it makes use of cooling more effectively.
