Cheaper may not always be the right way of describing purchasing a complete system when one component is still, apparently, working well. Smartest, most cost effective or most efficient are the best terms for buying all at once. For a lifetime home, or a system that we expect to outrun the warranty, it is best to start entirely new, matched and professionally installed.  We have learned from years of experience, and hundreds of thousands of calls, that best practices pay off in many ways: convenience, confidence, time, hassle, and money all matter to us and to you! 

When purchasing an HVAC system, it is always best to think in terms of engineering compatibility, complimentary design and features intended by the manufacturer. Few, if any, warranties will apply to systems that match non-paired components by mixed manufacturers. They are referred to as “Frankensystems”. That being said, certain major manufacturers have several lines under the same umbrella, which may mean that combining them is not a big deal. Always know the maker of HVAC equipment.

A furnace is simply the heat source in a normal HVAC system, most often gas fueled, but sometimes electric, as in a heat pumps systems, or water or oil based, as we find on the East and Northeast coasts often The furnace is located inside and paired with an evaporator coil. The AC unit, or condenser, is located outside.

The classic warning signs of malfunction and imminent failure are:  

Grating or starting noises, presence of soot in air, dry air, rising utility costs, difficulty heating or cooling as before, starting problems, particularly with your furnace, or short cycling of your AC.
