Upgrade Aging Air Conditioners and Furnace
There are several reasons why we decided to replace everything at this time, rather than take a chance on the old AC unit. The following is our list and you can attach importance levels to them based on your own situation:
- If the coil on the old AC unit leaks over the new furnace, the warranty is not valid
- Twenty eight years is a phenomenal life cycle, maybe I would get several more years at most
- Existing AC is very inefficient compared to the new units
- Get the job done once and they do not have to come back other than for annual maintenance
- Replace both and obtain full government rebate
- Energy costs continue to rise, so efficiency is important to control utility bills
- The existing system is noisy, newer units are quieter
- Resale value for our home will increase with new units still under warranty if we sell in next 10 years
