If you’re ready for a new heating and air conditioning system, but the looming expense seems prohibitive, make sure you’ve explored all your options before you give up and just wait for an emergency. First, consider yourself lucky to have the luxury of researching the different types of systems and ways to finance them. Often, homeowners are in the unenviable position of having to decide on a new system because their existing one has completely failed.
Do your research – not only of HVAC systems, but also of qualified installers and financing options. Learn the differences between traditional systems, geothermal heating and cooling and energy-efficient systems. While the latter two may be more costly in the beginning, they will save you money in the long run because they are typically more efficient and require less energy on a monthly basis. Once you have an idea of what the marketplace is offering, get the opinion of the professionals. Have a technician from a nearby Harford County or Baltimore area heating and air conditioning professional come to your home for a consultation. The technician should visit you, not vice versa, because seeing your home will allow them to provide the best recommendation for a system. Don’t be afraid to have more than one consultation. Not only are you choosing the system, you’re choosing the installer and the servicer. Be sure you are comfortable with them.
Discuss the financing options. Does the company have a financing program to help its customers? If you live in Harford County, does the company work with a Harford County bank that you trust? At HGH Mechanical, we’ve made it a point to give our customers peace of mind when purchasing a new heating and air conditioning system. They can get the system that’s right for their home, at the price that’s comfortable for them. They can plan ahead, and not wait for an emergency to happen.
