Your home's HVAC system is an essential part of keeping your home comfortable throughout the year. If your system needs replacement or if you are adding a system to your home, there are a variety of things to consider. When making your selection, the size of your home, your cooling needs, and your budget will all play a role. When it comes to HVAC installation, there are a few things that you should know. Here are three things to keep in mind during this process.

Your Options

The first thing that you should be aware of when it comes to HVAC installation is that there are multiple types of systems to choose from. Single-stage systems are one option that you may want to consider. This type of system is popular in areas with cold winters and ones with hot and humid summers. The downside is that these systems tend to operate at full capacity when they don't need to. Multi-stage HVAC systems are a good alternative. Another type of system that you may want to consider is a zoned system. Systems with humidity controls are also available. When it comes to HVAC installation, it's important to choose a system that will work best for your home's needs.

The Cost

The cost of HVAC installation services in your area will vary depending on the system you are having installed, the size of your home, and the difficulty of the installation. The average cost for a new HVAC system installation ranges between $4,000 and $12,000. Before making a decision, you will want to look into multiple companies that provide HVAC system installation services in your community. Shopping around and getting recommendations from friends and family will help you find the right contractor for your home's new HVAC system.

How Long it Takes

Another thing to consider when it comes to HVAC system replacement is how long it will take. During the installation, it may be difficult to maneuver through your home. You may also need to take time away from school or work during the installation process. Many HVAC systems can be installed within one day; however, some systems may take two or more days. Discussing how long the installation process will take with your contractor is a must.

The HVAC system that will work best for your home will depend on your heating and cooling needs, the size of your home, your budget, and the time you have. Consider all these factors when choosing a system.

About Me

When my heating ventilation and air conditioning system began to hiccup last summer, I feared the worst. The technician who checked it confirmed my fears. If I didn't replace the unit soon, it would be a mighty chilly winter. That spurred me to start looking at new systems. What I found were several features my older unit did not have. The unit that I ultimately settled on automatically switches from heating to cooling based on the temperature setting. I can also reset the thermostat remotely or program it to change settings during the day. Winter turned out to be very comfortable at my house, thanks to that new unit. If you are in the market for a new HVAC system, let's talk. I'll give you some pointers on how to find the right one for your home.
