Why Replace
Higher efficiency systems can reduce your energy usage and save you money on your monthly energy bills.
No two homes are alike; does a new high efficiency system make sense for you?
Making the decision to replace an old or inefficient system involves a lot of consideration including age of the old equipment, price of the replacement, size of the house, monthly energy savings, financing, available service contracts and much more. As a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer our Comfort Consultants can help you find the right heating and air conditioning solution for your home.
When you install a new high efficiency heating and air conditioning system from Tuckers, you will use less energy and save money. The higher the equipment heating and cooling efficiency ratings are the lower your monthly operating costs will be.
By evaluating your current comfort conditions and understanding your expectations, you’ll be able to focus on whether replacing your heating and cooling systems is right for you and your family. Read through the questions below and share the answers with our Comfort Consultants. This is the best way to ensure that your comfort needs are met and will help us properly size up your heating and air conditioning needs.
- Are your heating and cooling bills too high?
- Does your furnace short-cycle (consistently turn off and on)?
- Does your system run all the time?
- Are there any rooms in your home that are always too hot or too cold?
- Is your heating and cooling system too noisy?
- Is your home too dry in the winter and/or too humid in the summer?
- Does anyone in your home suffer from allergies, asthma etc?
- Do you want to replace an existing system or are you looking to add another heating and cooling system with duct?
- What is the square footage of your home, the number of windows, and the amount of sun exposure?
- Do you plan on remodeling or adding an addition in the near future?
- Why is the right size system so important?
A system that is too large will cool or heat your house too quickly, but you still may not feel comfortable. The system stress of short-cycling (too many starts and stops) can shorten the life of your equipment and increase your heating and cooling bills.
On the other hand, a system that is too small just cannot get the job done. The air conditioner will run constantly in the summer and the furnace will do the same in the winter. Our Comfort Consultants will determine the correct system size needed for your home by performing a heat load calculation. This heat loss/heat gain analysis is the best indicator of the correct system size.
