It is a new year, and for many St. Louis families that means looking forward to receiving their tax refund. The big question then becomes, how is the best way to spend the money you get back? Buying a new HVAC system may be one of the better decisions you can make. Read below and we will tell you why.
In the greater St. Louis area, if you are in the market for a HVAC system upgrade and would like input from a professional heating & air conditioning company with over 60 years of experience, give Galmiche & Sons a call. We are happy to answer any questions you may have, talk about the models we have available, and help you decide which new HVAC system might make the most sense for your home.
The Benefits of a New HVAC System
There is nothing like looking forward to a healthy tax refund. In Missouri, the average refund people receive falls between $2,600 – $2,900. It is easy to want to spend that large chunk of change on fun things like new clothes or even a vacation. However, it may be wise to consider using at least part of it on reinvesting in your home. Of course, HVAC is always on our minds, so if your system is over 10 years old, we think you may want to consider using your refund to replace it with a new HVAC system. A new energy efficient HVAC system can provide you with fantastic savings down the road (which you can then use for that fancy new wardrobe or sunny vacation).
Here are some things to consider when it comes to deciding whether getting a new HVAC system makes sense for your situation:
- How old is your system? – While we already touched on it above, a new HVAC system makes a lot of sense if your current system is older than 10 years. The reason is that older systems become less energy efficient and are more prone to breakdown as they age.
- How long do you plan on staying in the home? – If you plan on living in your home for the foreseeable future, then you want to know that your HVAC system is up to the task of providing your home with comfort and good indoor air quality. However, if you are planning on selling in the near future, then updating to a new HVAC system may also be a good choice. Home buyers will absolutely check the age of the HVAC system of the property. You may be punished with a lower offer or lack of interest if buyers feel the HVAC system falls short.
- Does your system use R22 refrigerant? – With the Environmental Protection Agency’s R22 refrigerant phase out now in full effect, this means that any leaks or requirements for recharge will be much costlier. Biting the bullet and upgrading your system now might save you costs and hassle in the near future.
