How A New Air Conditioner Installation May Bring Updates To Your Older Home

Posted on: 16 June 2020

It's important to update your home, especially if it hasn't been updated in a few decades. Before any exterior updating, it's important to make sure your home's basic systems are up to date and work at a high level. If you live in an older home that has never had an update on its air conditioning, that is an update that should be a priority. It'll help the value of your home, and it will make it easier to sell. There are a few changes that may take place in your home if you decide to do an air conditioning installation.

Equipment May Be Moved

In some older homes, the air conditioner may be on the roof or in a spot that isn't efficient. In order to efficiently cool your home, an air compressor may be moved to the side of your home. Some older homes may have been built with different building standards or building codes, which may mean your ducting system and ventilation isn't up to modern standards. If your air compressor is moved, some of your air ventilation system may also be moved to make sure the air flows properly to each area of the home. This could be a big project, but it will also increase your home's value if you want to put in up for sale.

Smart Technology

Most modern air conditioners are operated by technology. Having a new air conditioner may require you to update your home with smart technology that allows your heating and air to be operated automatically. With smart technology, your thermostat can adjust temperatures throughout the home almost perfectly. If there is a room in the home that is consistently cooler or hotter than others, then your thermostat can automatically adjust to the cooling needs of a specific area. The part about this technology is it can be adjusted and controlled remotely. You can use your phone to adjust temperatures from anywhere. This type of upgrade will also add value to your home.

Energy Efficiency Is Increased

One of the biggest utility expenses is from your air conditioner. People with older air conditioners often spend as much as twice as much as those with new, modern air compressors. New air compressors are smaller, and they use less energy to cool a home. When you update your ventilation and ducting systems with a new air compressor, the savings will be significant in your home's utility bills. The savings often eventually outweigh the initial cost of the air compressor.

When you consider that most homebuyers expect modern cooling systems in a home, it's easy to understand how investing in a modern cooling system would add value to your property. When you consider the added value to your home and the savings from better energy efficiency, the update of a new air conditioning system is obviously a good idea.

Summer is Upon Us – Is Your AC Working?

Hi. My name is Laurie Waters. The HVAC contractor was just out at our house last week and did I ever get a lesson from him. You see, we had a warm spell hit and I went to turn our air conditioning on for the first time since last summer. Much to my dismay, it wasn’t working. All I got was a blast of warm air. The fan was bringing the outdoor heat inside. Thank goodness it wasn’t anything major. My unit needed Freon. While he was here, the contractor taught me how to do some routine maintenance around my unit, vents, and filters. I’m going to share this information with you. I hope you find it to be useful.
