Consider the Benefits of HVAC Retrofitting Your Older Home

If your HVAC system has been around for years, you may notice problems like uneven heating and cooling, expensive heating and cooling bills and the need for frequent repairs. You may think that you have to live with these problems, but HVAC retrofitting is a solution that could improve the efficiency of your home while keeping you comfortable.

How HVAC Retrofitting Improves Your Heating and Cooling System

If you’re considering the investment of an HVAC retrofit, you’re probably wondering how the process works to improve the efficiency and overall function of your heating and cooling system.

• Older systems typically use Freon as a refrigerant. While you have the option to continue using Freon, you may want to switch to a different type of refrigerant. This switch would require new lines to be installed in your HVAC system.
• If your HVAC system has been around for years, there’s a good chance that the air ducts are worn and damaged. Leaky ducts substantially reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. Replacement ducts can ensure that air is efficiently circulated throughout your home.
• Frequent repairs may indicate that the components in your system are in need of an upgrade. Individual components can be fitted into your system to allow you to avoid the cost of a complete replacement. Whether this method of improving the function of your HVAC system will work depends on the design and age of the system.

Replacing Your Heating and Cooling System

Systems that are at least 10 years old may need to be completely replaced. An HVAC technician can help you determine whether your system is worth saving through a retrofit.
