Best Ways To Upgrade HVAC Equipment If You Have Extra CashAn IRS tax refund or other windfall may leave you wondering what to do with your sudden cash infusion. A vacation or a spin through the closest casino may sound like fun, but the wiser choice would be to use that money to upgrade your home HVAC equipment.

Here are some advantages you can expect from an HVAC upgrade.

  • Better efficiency: Improved system efficiency will give you noticeable savings on your seasonal utility bills. An Energy Star-certified system can reduce your yearly heating and cooling expenses by as much as 20 percent.
  • Improved reliability: A new or upgraded system is going to be more reliable than an older system, and it will be more likely to work well even during the high-demand days of summer or winter. Purchase proven brands from well-known manufacturers; these companies will stand behind their products and your local HVAC contractor will be happy to install and service them.
  • Quiet operation: If your furnace or air conditioner is running loudly, it can be a aggravation. Some systems produce noise at a decibel level similar to a kitchen garbage disposal. When looking for your upgrade, choose a model with features that reduce noise.
  • Consistent heating and cooling: You want your HVAC system to work consistently, keeping all areas of your house at a similar temperature. Choose a furnace or air conditioner with a two-stage system or a variable-speed blower motor to improve overall temperature consistency.
  • Improved indoor air quality: Newer HVAC systems are more likely to work well with high-efficiency filters. A whole-house air filtration system, in combination with your upgraded furnace or air conditioner, will keep your home’s air even cleaner.
