Repair or upgrade that is the question.
There are multiple factors to consider when you are facing repairing your Heating, Ventilation and A/C system.
Many homeowners try to save as much money as possible when it comes to this appliance because it can be easily upscale and you want to get the most for your money.
There is a pretty simple checklist that you need to consider when deciding whether you should maintenance your existing system or upgrade it. The first thing you need to consider is the age of your existing Heating, Ventilation and A/C unit. If it is under 10 years you are more than likely going to want to maintenance it so long as the repairs don’t cost too much. Many times these systems are still under warranty and you will only have to pay the work cost. Another factor that you may want to consider is the efficiency of your equipment compared to newer technology that is on the market. If you can realize a savings of nearly 25% on your annual fuel cost you may want to consider replacing it because it will pay for itself in a matter of years. Another thing to consider is the structure of your apartment itself. If over the course of the life of your Heating, Ventilation and A/C system you have made considerable changes to your home, such as an addition or current windows or doors you may want to have an energy assessment done to make sure that your Heating, Ventilation and A/C system is still the right size for your needs. Adding space or changing the airflow in your apartment can significantly diminish the efficiency of your existing Heating, Ventilation and A/C system. All of these things are important to consider and the next time you have a serviceman at your apartment you may want to ask him about these items.
