When it comes to replacing your HVAC system, there are a few things to consider. While the brand and price are important factors, there are other elements that must be taken into account. Generally speaking, using different brands won't have any major negative consequences. The key is to make sure the unit is correctly sized and that the coils, fan, and wiring are compatible.
When the air conditioner is initially installed, it usually comes with a warranty that covers any defects or breakdowns. However, this warranty only applies to the manufacturer of the unit. If you're replacing your boiler but keeping your old air conditioner, or if you're replacing both but they don't match, you may run into some issues. This is because manufacturers design HVAC system components to work together perfectly. If you need to replace your boiler, you'll also need to replace the old air conditioner or connect a new model to your outdated and inefficient HVAC system.
On the other hand, if one of your systems is newer or meets your needs, you don't necessarily need to replace both. Even if you wait to replace one part of your HVAC system, you'll eventually have to do it.
Benefits of Replacing Your HVAC System
To minimize future damage and save on repair and replacement costs, it's best to replace both units at the same time. Whether it's a surprise or something you've been planning for a while, you'll eventually need to replace your air conditioning equipment. Doing a complete system replacement ensures that the entire HVAC system has a good SEER rating and is in good condition. The best time to address any issues related to the performance of your current system is when you replace existing HVAC equipment.If you don't really need to replace a part of your air conditioning system, you can use that money for other pressing problems. However, while there are situations where both the air conditioner and the boiler need to be replaced, there are also situations where there is no point in replacing both.
