Hopefully, you don’t have to purchase new large appliances for your home often. When you have the right appliance in your home, it should last you many years—over a decade in the best cases—and that means you might not have much experience picking out something like a central air conditioning system.

What Should Homeowners Know Before a Heating and Air Conditioning Installation?

  • Focus on long-term comfort, efficiency, and system performance—not just upfront cost
  • Choose systems with high SEER (cooling) and AFUE (heating) efficiency ratings
