That means you’re paying more for your heat than in previous years. A new system is an instant upgrade even if you don’t get a higher-efficiency unit.

And, there’s the peace of mind that comes with knowing your old heater won’t break down for good during the coldest winter days. If your furnace is nearing the end of its service life, call us at (630) 504-8688. Or, click below for a free consultation.

Four Tips To Avoid An HVAC Scam

A dishonest HVAC contractor or outright scammer can cost you thousands of dollars with a bad heater repair or replacement. Here are four ways to avoid this happening to you:

1. Only work with a company that has a physical address you can visit. And make sure they’re licensed and insured.
2. Check their Google reviews and BBB rating. Even if they have an A+ rating, read the comments to see if the same problem keeps coming up.
3. Don’t trust a company that rolls up to your home with temporary decals on their trucks. That indicates a possible fly-by-night operation.
4. Ask friends and family for recommendations.

Ducted Heat Pump Vs. Gas Furnace

If it’s time to replace your heating system, you should consider switching from a conventional gas furnace to a heat pump. While you’ll pay a little more upfront, you’ll more than make up for it in the years to come:

Energy Efficiency And Cost Savings

A heat pump moves heat from one place to another instead of burning gas to create warmth in your house. As a result, it requires a fraction of the energy a conventional system uses. You could see your monthly energy bills cut in half — or even more!

Increased Comfort

Not only will you pay less for your heat — You’ll get better warmth! People who converted from gas to heat pump tell us how their home is much more comfortable in the winter. There are no hot and cold spots and no blasts of hot air.

How Much Is A New Furnace For A 2000 Square Foot Home?

A furnace and central air system for a 2,000-square-foot home costs $5,500 to $8,000. You almost always need to replace both simultaneously, so the components are compatible. The price varies depending on efficiency.

A 45,000-BTU furnace with a two-ton AC is the typical size for a 2,000-square foot home. But, we’d do a load calculation to make sure that’s the best size for your home.

After that, you can get a 12-SEER AC and 80-percent AFUE furnace for less money upfront. But, you’ll pay more on your energy bills than if you install a 16-SEER, 95-percent AFUE combo that costs a little more to purchase and install.
