Mistakes People Make When Buying HVAC Equipment

By Angie Lyczkowski | Published: July 25, 2017

Mistakes People Make When Buying HVAC EquipmentWhen you’re buying new HVAC equipment, your choice has a big impact on issues like your family’s comfort, your energy costs and your indoor air quality, so you don’t want to make a mistake. To make the best possible buying decision, here are some common mistakes made by others that you’ll want to avoid:

Buying Equipment That’s Too Big or Too Small

Installing over- or under-sized HVAC equipment can cause a slew of problems, including poor humidity and temperature control, high energy consumption, sudden breakdowns and shorter component lifespans. To find out the correct equipment capacity that’s needed for your home, make sure your HVAC installer performs a detailed load calculation.

Making Cost Your Primary Focus

If your sole goal is paying a rock-bottom price for your new HVAC equipment and its installation, you can end up paying a lot more in the long run. The cheapest equipment is usually the least efficient available, which means you’ll pay higher operating costs over its service life. Going with the installer who gives you the lowest bid can leave you dealing with a faulty installation that negatively impacts the equipment’s longevity, performance and warranty coverage.

Not Exploring All Your Options

To get the greatest benefit from investing in a new heat pump, air conditioner or furnace, you need to take ample time to investigate all the different models within your budget and check out the latest available features that can boost your family’s comfort and your energy savings. An experienced, dependable HVAC contractor can advise you on the efficiency of different models, and help you weigh the value of features like ECM motors, variable-speed air handlers, two-stage compressors, and smart system controls.

Forgetting Preventive Maintenance

Giving your new equipment the preventive care it deserves from the get go is vital to maintain its energy efficiency, reliability, performance and your manufacturer’s warranty. The easiest way to do this is signing a yearly maintenance contract with your HVAC installer.
