Since every home is different, determining if it makes financial sense to replace your HVAC system will differ.

What size whole-home heating and cooling unit you will need will depend on a lot of factors such as the type of house you own, its insulation, walls, attic space, and more. It’s very important that you have a heating and cooling expert from Academy Air determine the correct sized unit for your home as a system that is too large could result in a home that’s too humid, causing problems with moisture and mold. On the other hand, a system that is too small will run constantly, running up your energy bill.

Yes, if you replace your outdoor unit, you should also replace your indoor unit. There are many reasons as to why you should replace both units at the same time. Air conditioners and heat pump outdoor units are manufactured to work with an indoor unit and when you mix and match units, efficiency and performance can be significantly reduced. Additionally, by buying both the indoor and outdoor units together, you’ll get a warranty covering the whole system. For further information, call the pros at Academy Air.

The length and terms of the warranty will depend on the specific brand, model and installation. Most heating systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty that covers defects in materials or workmanship.

If your heating system is cycling frequently, not producing enough heat, making strange noises or emitting strange odors, then it may be time to contact a professional for servicing.
