Changing out or installing a new
HVAC system before the end of 2017 has a sound rationale. The top 5 reasons for making the change are outlined below. The number 5 reason may be the best justification of all.
1) Right now is still the off season. Most of the country is still in a shoulder season between fall and winter. Once the temperatures drop, the demand for furnace installations minimizes reasons for contractors and manufacturers to offer incentives.
2) Utility rebates. Most utility rebates expire this December and will change going into 2018.
On Long Island, where we are, we are expecting a reduction in 2018 rebate amounts.
3) 2018 Equipment and contractor costs. As manufacturers introduce new lines in 2018, expect price increases on the new equipment. Contractor costs will automatically increase as benefits, insurance, taxes, materials, and overhead costs increase.
4) The old R22 Freon is becoming much too expensive, and manufacture of R22 beyond 2019 is now forbidden.
5) The best reason of all is a quantum leap in technology to inverter driven units with multiple variable speeds. The results are many. These units maintain temperature and humidity better than anything in the past 20 years, and use only 30-40% of the electric use of a single stage 10 year or older unit. These units are so quiet and so efficient, many of the outdoor units you cannot hear running if you are more than 4 feet away. The electric savings alone can pay for this choice difference in just 2-3 seasons of use.
**** Please note: Most new HVAC equipment comes with a manufacturers warranty of at least 10 years on the parts and equipment. Be sure and ask about service contracts for annual service, which generally covers the labor to fix or replace warrantied parts. You wouldn't expect your car to go 10 years without changing the oil or transmission fluid. HVAC equipment is mechanical and requires annual maintenance to function at its best and give you optimal life and performance.. ****
