Can I Just Replace The Furnace Without Replacing AC?

You can replace just the furnace without the AC, but it’s usually not a good idea. These systems come “matched” and use many of the same parts. If you only replace one, your furnace and AC won’t perform as well as they should because they’re not made to work together.

It’s also often cheaper in labor costs to replace the systems at the same time, and you’ll find you can also get bigger savings by upgrading the efficiency of your whole system at the same time as well.

If your HVAC system is older than 15 years or you are spending 50% of the cost to get a new system on maintenance and repairs, it’s time to seriously consider a replacement.

Newer air conditioning systems no longer use freon but use newer, more environmentally-friendly high-pressure cooling systems that are not always compatible with older heating systems.

Plus, when a system is 15 years old or older, many heaters can develop cracked heat exchangers, which can leak dangerous carbon monoxide into your home- so it’s a good idea to replace the whole system at that point.

If it’s time for New AC, it’s time to consider upgrading to a heat pump. New systems like the Daikin VRV Life system can switch between a heat pump and gas furnace to dramatically increase the efficiency of your HVAC system while allowing you to better control the comfort level in different areas of your home.

Compass Heating and Air will help you choose the best central air conditioning system for your home’s needs and your budget. For a free consultation, click the link below or call us at (630) 504-8688.

Comfort Upgrade: Replace Two ACs With One Daikin VRV System

Has your home needed two central air systems to keep cool in the summer? Now, you can replace your dual AC setup with a single Daikin VRV system that will keep you comfortable for less money!

VRV systems use heat pump technology to provide superior comfort that uses electricity than forced-air systems. That means your home stays cooler while you pay less on your utility bills!

And, there’s a setup for everyone. You can go with ductless air handlers to customize the temperature room-by-room. They’re also great for large open spaces and rooms with high ceilings.

You can also use your existing ductwork. Or mix and match for a fully-customized setup that addresses your home’s unique HVAC needs.

We have podcast episodes about Daikin VRV options and the benefits of heat pumps vs. central air. And there are plenty of other resources in our Learning Library.
