While you've done a great job of maintaining the heating system in your Dallas, TX home, even the most reliable of systems will eventually need replacing. Rather than simply going with the first system that you notice, it helps to consider factors such as the cost of a new system, the price of installation and even how much it will cost you to operate the system from day to day. Fortunately, Bill Joplin's Air Conditioning and Heating can help you explore your options and come up with the right system for your home.
What Did You Like About the Old Heating System?
A good place to start is by identifying everything you liked about the old heating system. Perhaps the unit would run very quietly, something you appreciated especially during nighttime hours. The controls for the system were easy to understand, meaning you could change the settings with ease. Maybe the system had a high energy rating, allowing you to enjoy a lower cost of operation.
The idea is to make sure that any new system you consider will include all the features and benefits of your old system. By knowing what matters most to you, it will be easier to focus on potential systems that can at least offer everything that you have become accustomed to enjoying. Consider your list of features as the standard by which all new systems will be judged.
How About New or Enhanced Features?
Talk with your tech from Bill Joplin's Air Conditioning and Heating about the bells and whistles of the old system that you would like to duplicate and find out what new features you might want to consider. For example, you enjoyed the easy functionality of the control system. What if you could get a new system that provided even more options? For example, there are units on the market today that can be operated using a remote control. You can also buy a system that allows additional programming of changes to the settings. This can come in handy if you are gone most of the day or will be out of town for a few days. Rather than having to manually adjust the temperature setting when you get back, use the program feature to preset the changes so the home is comfortable when you return.
Energy Ratings
Newer heating systems have improved efficiency ratings that you want to pay close attention to. Focus on units that have high ratings, indicating they can do more with less energy consumption. While the most efficient models will cost more, the money you save on energy bills will more than offset that difference in purchase price.
Maintenance Costs
Securing an annual service contract from Bill Joplin's Air Conditioning and Heating is the best way to keep maintenance costs affordable. Regular professional maintenance is the best way to get the most years out of any heating and cooling system. Keeping your new equipment in tip top shape will also help to keep energy consumption as low as possible
