Upgrade and Replacement
If you're experiencing higher than everyday energy bills, uneven home temperatures, unusual noises, and excessive dust, or if your HVAC system is older than 15, it might be time to replace or upgrade your home's heating and cooling system. There comes a time when it is no longer feasible to keep repairing an old HVAC system, and a replacement or upgrade is necessary. While you may have been a homeowner for many years, this may be the first time you're facing this type of project, and you may have many questions. Airview AC can walk you through the process and assist in making the best decision for you and your home.
How Much Will Replacing An HVAC System Cost?
Your home comfort system is most likely one of the larger investments you'll make for your home. This may prompt you to cut corners and try to save money, however in this case, don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish! Your home's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is crucial in keeping the house comfortable by circulating fresh air. And it also needs to work every day of the year. You don't notice it when it's working well, but you notice when it's not!
Prices for replacement HVAC systems can vary significantly across the nation depending on the system's size, accessibility of the old unit, transitional sheet metal work needed, and the new unit’s efficiency rating that you chose to meet your energy savings goals. So, instead of giving a price range that could be wildly off-base, we recommend calling us at (972) 658-1784 to get a free estimate. It's a quick and easy way to know how much you'll need to budget for your replacement system.

For HVAC replacement projects, additional costs are often associated with retrofitting a new system into the old system's footprint and any recommended HVAC repairs to your current ductwork and/or exterior envelope to help the system function most efficiently. If your system is undersized or many years old, you may want to upgrade your HVAC system for better energy efficiency and overall performance.
Do I Need To Replace The Entire HVAC System?
If your AC unit is on the fritz, you might be tempted only to replace part of the HVAC system. Even though only one part of your system may need replacing, replacing the entire system simultaneously is generally recommended to maintain maximum efficiency. Replacing the whole HVAC system means spending more upfront, but you will save money in the long run because your entire HVAC unit will be in sync. Having a properly designed and installed heating and air conditioning system will have the most significant impact on reducing your energy costs.
Can I Replace An HVAC System Myself?
Replacing an HVAC system isn't a DIY job, and installing it incorrectly can be more costly than replacing the system itself. Rely on the professional HVAC technicians of Airview AC to ensure your system is installed correctly and according to the manufacturer's warranty. We'll ensure your HVAC replacement or upgraded system is installed according to the manufacturer's specifications, perform all necessary tests to ensure the system is functioning correctly, go over the proper operation of the new system and answer any questions.
Once your new system is up and running, you'll want to maintain your investment by regularly servicing the unit to ensure it stays in top condition and works as efficiently as possible. Ask us about our preventive maintenance programs. Contact us today at (972) 658-1784.
