HVAC Upgrades to Consider

- Energy efficiency: Newer HVAC systems tend to waste less energy than older ones, especially if you select one that's ENERGY STAR® certified.
- Rightsizing: More isn't necessarily better. If your current system isn't the right size for your space and needs, here's your chance to correct that. Talk to the Comfort Advisors at ARS®/Rescue Rooter® (1-800-277-9400). They'll help you find a system that fits.
- System type: Is your current system the best type for your needs and climate? Now’s the time to shop your options! Dual-fuel, heat pump, forced-air, geothermal, radiant—we’ll be glad to walk you through the pros and cons of each.
- Control: Need more or less heat in one area of the house? A multi-zone system may be something you'll want to consider.
- Humidifier/dehumidifier: Keeping your home’s humidity in the comfort zone can be tricky. Too humid, and you’ll encourage mold and mildew growth. Too dry, and your skin, throat and sinuses may suffer.
- Air cleaner: Keeping your ducts and air filter clean on a regular basis can go a long way toward improving your indoor air quality, but a UV light cleaner can add a bonus layer of protection for your home. It works by neutralizing bacteria and fungal spores, inhibiting their growth.
- Air sealing and insulation: Running a new HVAC without addressing leaky ducts or insufficient insulation may lead to disappointing results. Consider scheduling a professional energy audit to identify problem areas.
