Have you been avoiding that inevitable air conditioner replacement? Putting it off may not be the best choice. Here’s a look at what you stand to gain by making the decision to upgrade to high-efficiency cooling equipment right now.

Seven benefits of an air conditioner replacement

  • Tax incentives – It’s wise to take advantage of this perk immediately, because it will be gone before you know it. From now until the end of 2013, you can earn a $300 federal energy tax credit on the purchase and installation of an energy-efficient central A/C or heat pump.
  • Reduced cooling costs – With energy costs on the rise, there’s never been a better time to purchase a more efficient air conditioner. New cooling systems come with numerous features to promote energy savings, and have higher efficiency ratings than the equipment that was manufactured only a few years ago. This translates to a decrease in energy consumption and lowered utility bills.
  • Dependable equipment – Save yourself from the stress and expense of a mid-season breakdown. A new A/C will run smoothly all summer, and with proper maintenance, will operate at peak performance levels for many years.
  • Boosted comfort – Want your home to feel cooler and less muggy? A new cooling system is the answer. Today’s equipment is designed to promote more even temperatures and is better able to control humidity.
  • Improved air quality – With better moisture control, your home will be at a reduced risk for mold and mildew growth, which can threaten your indoor air quality.
  • More environmentally friendly – Do your part to “go green” by switching to an A/C that utilizes the EPA-approved refrigerant R-410A, which doesn’t deplete the ozone.
  • Warranty assurance – An air conditioner system replacement can provide you with warranty protection – typically one year labor and ten years on the equipment parts. In addition, you may purchase extended labor warranties up to ten years. For a quote on an air conditioner replacement, contact the experts at Comfort Systems.
