Main Considerations When Buying an AC

An air conditioning system is a huge financial commitment that offers long-term use and comfort. That said, you should carefully research your options and consult experts to determine the best cooling system for your home.  

Generally, HVAC specialists suggest looking into the following aspects of an AC unit to get a clear idea of what you’re getting.

Size

AC units come in different shapes and sizes. They also require different installation methods and have varying cooling capacities. You have to measure your living spaces so you can ensure the AC can meet your home’s cooling demand. A professional technician can help you with this. During the inspection, you can expect them to take measurements of the rooms too. If you have existing ductwork, they can assess its condition and compatibility with the new cooling system.

Ductwork Compatibility

The ductwork serves as the major artery of your HVAC system. If it’s no longer in good shape or not compatible with the new AC, they can replace them. Part of their task is to inspect the ductwork’s condition, note and repair any leaks, and clean it thoroughly before the installation of the new AC.

Payment Terms

A complete heating and cooling system is a big investment. HVAC contractors understand this and may offer various payment and financing plans. Ask about your options before deciding to purchase your AC. 

Warranties

All HVAC manufacturers do their best to design a long-lasting and dependable system. Despite their best efforts, some new units may malfunction right out of the box. Avoid paying for faulty units by making sure your new AC is covered by a warranty. Discuss the warranty’s coverage and duration so you know exactly what you’re getting.
