HVAC Installation

Homeowners often wonder when to upgrade their air conditioning systems. While this answer can vary, HVAC replacement is generally recommended when a system has reached the end of its lifespan, breaks down frequently, needs an expensive repair, or your energy costs are increasing. When the time comes for new HVAC installation in Port St. Lucie, it is important to select the right system for your home. 

Things to look for in a new HVAC system include: 

• Size – An air conditioning system that is too small will struggle to keep the house cool, which decreases efficiency and increases wear and tear. A system that is too large will cycle too frequently, which can result in humidity levels that are too high and makes the system more expensive to run. 
• Energy efficiency – The energy efficiency rating of an air conditioning system can make a big difference in your home cooling costs. Investing in an energy efficient system is good for the environment and lowers your utility costs. 
• Air quality – Selecting the right air conditioning system can help deliver the cleanest and most comfortable air possible. 
• Equipment lifespan – Heating and air conditioning equipment can last for 10 to 20 years. You can optimize the lifespan by selecting the right equipment for your home, making sure it is professionally installed, and receives regular maintenance. 
• Additional features – You may want to consider additional features, such as a smart thermostat, to improve energy efficiency and comfort. 

Another important factor to consider is whether to replace the air conditioner, heating system, or both. When installing new equipment, you may want to install a separate central air conditioner and heater.
