Buyers Guide

This buyer's guide was assembled to assist you in the purchase of your new heating and air conditioning system. Since this system purchase represents the largest expenditure you will make for a home appliance it is important that you understand as much as you can before you buy. In this guide we will cover areas important for you to understand prior to evaluating system proposals. In the last section, "Buyer Beware", we review many misleading and negligent practices that may cost you money and aggravation.



I Can't Affort It!


We realize that a most people think they can't afford to have all the bells and whistles of the "perfect" air conditioning and heating system. But you're going to pay the same amount anyway...to the electric company, the gas company, the doctor... why not have the additional comfort to go with the expense. Why is a lower priced, lower quality air conditioning system going to cost the same anyway?
Increased Utility Bills. A 19 SEER, variable speed system with zoning can reduce your average electric bill by up to 50%. If your utility bill averages $250 a month you can save up to $22,500 over the 15 year life of the system.
Increased Repair Bills. An air conditioning and heating system usually costs 30% of its initial cost in repairs during the life of the system. This can amount to thousands of dollars. High quality systems reduce this amount substantially and they last up to 40% longer than an average quality system.
Family Health. You figure it out. If proper filtration and clean air reduce germs and allergens they will save you money on healthcare for colds and allergies and improve your quality of life.

You Can't Afford Not To!

The point is, you can invest in a high quality heating and air conditioning system or you can pay much more in higher utility bills, repair bills and doctor bills over the 15 year life of the average system.
