Signs it Might Be Time To Upgrade Your HVAC Equipment
Is your air conditioner struggling to maintain comfort in your Port Richey, Florida, home or office? Have your utility bills risen? Do malfunctions occur more often? These are signs that it might be time for an AC equipment upgrade. Manufacturers of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment offer innovative solutions to improve indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and comfort. With several options available, discussing your needs with an experienced, licensed HVAC company is helpful.
Rising Utility Costs
Utility costs rise for several reasons, including lack of maintenance, increased demand and inefficient equipment. However, rising utility costs are often due to the age of a system.
HVAC systems over 10 years old use more energy. New-generation equipment achieves better energy efficiency. Variable-speed compressors and blowers, zoning, improved filtration and whole-home ventilation systems lower energy usage and improve comfort.
Poor Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency maximizes performance while reducing energy usage without loss of comfort. Your system may run longer, cycle frequently, struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures or have difficulty in regulating indoor humidity levels. Overtaxed equipment uses more energy.
In contrast to systems that operate at full power, variable-speed drives adjust to real-time demands. Equipment runs at lower speeds when temperatures are low and higher speeds when temperatures increase. This saves energy and enhances comfort.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
Well-balanced HVAC systems regulate airflow, temperature and humidity to create a healthy living environment. Adding indoor air quality components that work with your heating and cooling system keep the indoor air fresh and clean. Whole-home ventilation systems bring in fresh outdoor air and expel stale indoor air. Ultraviolet lights neutralize biological contaminants. High-quality filters capture particulate matter that can cause health problems or allow odors to linger.
