It’s a Good Idea to Update Your Indoor and Outdoor Units at The Same Time – Here’s Why!

We know it’s cheaper to replace just the broken parts of your heating and cooling system. However, there are several reasons to consider updating the entire system when a technician visits, including these:

Reason # 1: If one unit is upgraded while the other remains outdated, they may operate less efficiently together.

Reason # 2: Complete compatible systems with a higher seasonal energy efficiently ratio can save energy and lower your utility bills.

Reason # 3: Replacing both units will help you spend less money on future repairs.

Reason # 4: You’ll have less overall control of your home’s comfort and humidity levels because of old technology.

Reason # 5: Warranties may not be valid if your system isn’t set up to be compatible.

Do you want an indoor and outdoor unit that will work efficiently together? Do you want to save money on future repairs? Do you want a few years of headache-free maintenance? 

If you’re not willing to sacrifice your comfort to save a few bucks, then replacing both your indoor and outdoor units is best!  All our technicians are highly trained professionals who continue their education through ongoing training, so they stay up to date to assure you the best service available.
