Understanding the Interdependence of Your HVAC System

Your home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is an complex network where the furnace and air conditioner often share key components. The most common is the air handler or blower, which is used in both heating and cooling seasons. Replacing both units simultaneously ensures compatibility and efficiency, leading to optimal performance and longevity of your system.

Reasons to Consider Simultaneous Replacement

Enhanced System Efficiency

Today’s furnaces and air conditioners are designed to work together efficiently. By upgrading both units at the same time, you benefit from the latest technology, leading to significant energy savings and a reduction in your utility bills.

Cost Savings

Although it might seem counterintuitive, replacing both units together can be more cost-effective in the long run. You’ll save on installation costs, as Central’s HVAC team can usually complete both installs in a single visit.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Newer models of furnaces and air conditioners come equipped with advanced filtration and humidity control features. This means better air quality in your home, which is especially important for families with allergies or respiratory issues.
