We know that\u2019s a bad feeling, especially when you weren\u2019t expecting such a huge appliance replacement. With winter\u2019s chill seeping in quickly, you might be rushing, trying to get some heat back into your house, but be aware of these common mistakes that homeowners tend to make when replacing their HVAC system.<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Purchasing The Wrong Size Equipment<\/strong> &#8211; Bigger doesn\u2019t always mean better! According to the Department of Energy, a large percentage of people who replace their HVAC systems end up getting the wrong size for their home\u2019s needs. This can result in utility bills that skyrocket, damaged equipment, build-up of mold in the ductwork, and just overall uncomfortable living conditions. Make sure that you get a professional to verify the proper size based off of your home\u2019s physical characteristics.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Going Cheaper <\/strong>&#8211; You know the old saying \u201cYou get what you pay for!\u201d This is a prime example of that! If at all financially possible, do your best not to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the cheapest option out there. The reason for this is to avoid a system that will break down prematurely, won\u2019t function well, and will actually cost you more to operate than a higher efficiency model.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Having A Non-Professional Install The System<\/strong> &#8211; We\u2019ve all been there, looking to save where we can, allowing a friend who knows a thing or two to install something in our home, only to realize it was done incorrectly. The HVAC unit is truly the heartbeat of your home\u2019s comfort system, so it\u2019s imperative that you choose a reliable, skilled HVAC contractor to install your equipment.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not Getting A Warranty<\/strong> &#8211; When you purchase a new system, be sure that the company you buy from has written warranties and will be able to answer questions you might have about the unit. If a company or contractor is not willing to stand behind the products and services that they provide, you should beware.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not Getting A Maintenance Plan<\/strong> &#8211; Most reputable contractors will sell maintenance plans for home comfort systems. When you purchase a new HVAC unit, you should also enroll in a maintenance plan. F.H. Furr\u2019s Preferred Partner Plans cover maintenance for your HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, so you\u2019ll be covered in all areas of your home comfort needs.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best way to avoid mistakes is to give us a call!
