When it comes to conserving energy and money, replacing your home's heating and cooling units can be a great way to do both. However, it's not always the right time to replace your air conditioner and boiler. In some cases, replacing both can give you the most out of your HVAC system. If your heating and cooling units are aging, it may be more sensible to change them simultaneously.
On the other hand, if you're only replacing one system and the other one is newer or meets your needs, you don't need to replace both systems. In other words, when you replace the boiler, you don't need to switch the air conditioner as well. Nowadays, most energy companies offer cash incentives to homeowners to replace their old HVAC equipment with energy-efficient appliances. Whether it came as a surprise or you've been planning for a while, you'll eventually have to replace your HVAC equipment. And if you don't really need to replace a part of your air conditioning system, you can use your hard-earned money for more pressing matters.
Nevertheless, even if you wait to replace a part of your HVAC system, you'll have to replace it eventually. The best time to address issues related to the performance of your current system is when you replace existing HVAC equipment. This way, you can make sure that your new system is up-to-date and running efficiently. Additionally, replacing both systems at once can help reduce energy costs and save money in the long run.
