Chances are good if you own a home that you’ll need to install a new cooling system at least once. The upfront costs of replacing your cooling system can be daunting, but considering that you might be living with this appliance for up to 20 years, it’s important to look for a system with the highest energy efficiency you can afford. Whether you choose to buy a heat pump or an air conditioner, your decision should be based on energy efficiency as much as performance.

Once you decide to upgrade your cooling system, you have a lot of things to consider. New HVAC appliances are expensive, but investing more money in the beginning may save you a lot of headache down the road. A cheaper deal may seem appealing, but when you start to calculate lifetime costs for repairs and high utility bills, you’ll wish that you had done more careful comparison shopping.

Long-term considerations:

  • Fluctuating energy costs
  • Frequency of maintenance
  • Ease of service
  • Energy efficiency
  • Compatibility with your other appliances
