Why Should You Replace Your Furnace at the Same Time as Your Air Conditioner?

When houses are built, everything that the house could possibly need enters the house in the same few months. That includes everything from the windows to the roof and even the heating and cooling systems. That is why it seems as though when one thing in your house breaks, it all begins to break. It is smart to be on your toes and be prepared to change a house’s heating and cooling systems at the same time, and here’s why.

 

Furnace

To avoid having to keep your residential AC repair technician constantly flip-flopping between fixing your AC unit and your furnace, it is easier to ask them to go ahead and replace both of them at the same time once one bites the dust. Chances are if one is old and broken, the other won’t be far behind it. Furnaces typically last an average of 15 to 18 years, so it is always a smart idea to have a savings account large enough to cover the expenses once that time approaches. You do not want winter to roll around and have your family be stuck in a cold house. Some experts say up to 75% of no-heat calls in those cold months are related to a lack of maintenance. A furnace can stop working suddenly, leaving your family shivering in the cold.

 

Air Conditioning Unit

On the other end of the spectrum, if your furnace goes out, your AC might not be too far behind it. Make sure you have a company that specializes in residential AC repair ready to go in your contacts list so you can schedule routine AC maintenance every year. The best time to plan and set up these appointments is in the spring months when the weather is not too hot yet. Trust us, you do not want to be in a house with no working air conditioners in the middle of summer. It is not fun to be dripping in sweat while you sit in your own house. It is also not safe for people with medical conditions to get overheated if the AC goes out.

 

The Power of Planning

House maintenance is never fun, but you will be so glad that you planned ahead and replaced both of your units before they crash. No one likes to be too hot or too cold, so avoid that headache altogether and keep both of your systems in tip-top shape.
