OVERVIEW - WHAT IS HVAC?

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems. This system controls heating and cooling in your home. It includes heat pumps, furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, ductwork, and other home comfort controls.

HOW MUCH DOES A NEW AIR CONDITIONER OR FURNACE COST?

Prices vary by state and depend on many factors, including the make and model of the HVAC system Marietta you select and the size and location of your home. We recommend that you contact your local HVAC Service Marietta for a custom, in-home assessment, and estimate. For more information, visit our price guide or online estimate.

WHAT FACTORS AFFECT THE COST OF A NEW HVAC SYSTEM?

There are many ways to save money on a Trane. You can only find these savings by talking to your local dealer. These include tax credits, local rebates, and limited-time offers. Here are some other factors that can impact the cost of a new heating or cooling system.

LOCATIONClimate and region are important factors in choosing the right system for your home. In the cold north and south, heating and cooling requirements will be different. Depending on where you live, installation costs may vary up to 20%.

HOME SIZE CONSTRUCTION
To maintain a comfortable temperature in a large home, you will need to have a larger unit or multiple systems. This will be more expensive than a smaller house. Your monthly cooling and heating costs will be affected by the quality and seals of windows and doors, as well as your insulation.

DUCTWORK
The ductwork is crucial in determining how comfortable your home feels from one room to the next. A duct system, when properly designed and installed can increase comfort and reduce energy consumption. You can add ductwork to your HVAC system for as little as $2,000 to $3,000 if you are replacing or installing a new HVAC system.

PROJECT DIFFICULTY
Your HVAC installation cost will increase if your system is designed for difficult-to-reach spaces or if retrofitting is required in an older home. An on-site evaluation can only find these costs.

 

 

HEATING AND COOLING PRODUCTS

FURNACE
Four main components make up furnaces: 1) burners that burn fuel, 2) heat exchanging units, 3) a blower, and 4) a flue which acts as an exhaust for gases by-products. A furnace produces heat from burning fuel and distributes it throughout the house.

AIR CONDITIONER
An air conditioner takes heat energy from the house and transfers it to the outdoors. A split system is the most popular setup for residential homes. It includes an inside heat exchanger and an external condensing unit heat exchanger.

HEAT PUMP
If you live in a warm climate area, a heat pump can be an economical option. It heats a house in winter by using the outside air and cools it in summer.

AIR HANDLER
Air handlers are often used in conjunction with heat pumps to circulate air through your home. An air handler is not necessary if you are looking for an old furnace or air conditioner.

DUCTLESS SYSTEMS
A ductless system is a great way to heat or cool one room in your house without having to add ductwork.

THERMOSTAT
There are two types of thermostats available: traditional and connected. Connected controls can be integrated with smart home systems to learn how to heat and cool your home the most efficiently. While traditional controls are simpler, many offer programming options.

HEATING AND COOLING TERMS

ALFIE
This is the furnace's efficiency at converting heat into energy. Higher efficiency means lower energy costs and higher efficiency.

SEER
This number measures the air conditioner and heat pump cooling efficiency. Higher numbers mean higher efficiency and lower energy bills.

HSPF
An indicator of the heat pump's efficiency. High efficiency is defined as an HSPF greater than 8.

SPLIT-SYSTEM
Split systems have two parts. An outdoor unit and an indoor one. Split systems are the most popular HVAC system in modern homes.

PACKAGED SYSTEM
All-in-one systems, or packaged systems, are solutions that combine heating and cooling components in one cabinet.

HEATING STAGES
This refers to how many settings a furnace/heat pump has. Multi-stage or variable temperature control systems are more precise and more efficient than single-stage systems.

COOLING STAGES
This refers to how many settings an air conditioner/heat pump has. Multi-stage or variable air conditioners provide more precise temperature control and are more efficient than single-stage units.

ENERGY START
The ENERGY STAR label is intended to assist consumers in identifying energy-efficient products.

HYBRID SYSTEM
A hybrid dual fuel system combines an electric heat pump with a gas furnace.

 

FINANCIAL TIP - FOLLOW THE $5,000 ROLE
Add the equipment's age to the repair cost. You should replace your unit if the total is greater than $5,000
