Project Overview

A homeowner recently reached out to us with an outdated HVAC system that struggled to maintain consistent temperatures throughout their home. Their old system was consuming excessive energy, leading to high utility costs, and required frequent repairs. After assessing the situation, we recommended a complete system upgrade, including the installation of dual outdoor AC units and a coil replacement. The goal was to improve efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance overall comfort.

To address these concerns, we replaced the old system with high-efficiency dual outdoor AC units and upgraded the evaporator coils. This improved temperature control and provided more consistent airflow throughout the home. Adjustments were made to the ductwork to enhance overall air distribution. The new system not only offers better performance but also helps lower energy bills by running more efficiently.

Regular HVAC servicing plays a significant role in maintaining system efficiency and preventing breakdowns. For homeowners wondering when to schedule maintenance, our AC Servicing Checklist outlines key steps to keep a system running smoothly.

Challenges

  1. Outdated System Performance – The previous system was inefficient, leading to uneven cooling and heating.
  2. High Energy Costs – The homeowner’s electricity bills had spiked due to the aging unit’s inefficiency.
  3. Frequent Repairs – The system required constant servicing, leading to rising maintenance costs.
  4. Poor Airflow & Comfort – The existing system struggled to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the home.

Results

  1. The homeowner saw an immediate reduction in energy consumption, resulting in lower utility bills.
  2. Temperature consistency improved, eliminating previous hot and cold spots.
  3. The upgraded system required less maintenance, reducing long-term repair costs.
  4. Indoor air quality benefited from the new coils, helping to filter out airborne contaminants.

Why Upgrade Your HVAC System?

A new system can significantly improve comfort and efficiency, especially if your current unit is more than ten years old. Older HVAC systems are often less energy-efficient and may struggle with airflow issues. According to Energy.gov, upgrading to a high-efficiency system can cut cooling costs by up to 50 percent in some cases.

For those concerned about indoor air quality, the EPA highlights how HVAC systems play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy home environment. Proper installation and regular maintenance ensure that your system continues to provide clean, conditioned air.
