Did an AC company recommend replacing your AC unit? If a professional has recommended that you replace your old AC, it's likely a great idea. You can actually save quite a bit of money by paying an air conditioning company to install a new air conditioning system. There are several ways to save money along with other benefits you can enjoy by replacing your old AC system. Here are three ways that upgrading your AC unit can save you money.

Save on Energy Costs

New AC systems are more energy efficient than older ones. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it's estimated that most families will spend around $2,000 a year on energy, and about half of the costs are attributed to indoor climate control (keeping the home warm or cool). A new AC system can help to reduce the cost of keeping your home cool, and the amount of savings can be substantial. Some systems can save you up to 30% on your seasonal energy bill. Your AC company representative can explain SEER (the rating system for AC and heating systems) in detail and tell you exactly what you can expect to save on your new model.

Save on Repairs

How many times have you had to pay for AC repairs? AC repairs can be costly. With a new AC unit, you will save money on maintenance costs. It's estimated that new systems require 75% less maintenance than older systems. You won't have to worry about forking over large sums of money to repair your aging AC unit. Manufacturer warranties can vary, but in any case, you have quite a few years of reliable service without having to worry about repairs.

Save Money With Incentives

Depending on where you reside, there are tax incentives for upgrading to energy efficient heating and cooling appliances. Upgrading your AC to a new energy efficient unit can help you save on your taxes. Governments are typically very generous regarding tax savings for making energy improvements in your home.

A new AC unit will open you up to potential government incentives and can help you save money on energy costs and repairs. Getting all the benefits and savings from upgrading your AC system starts with partnering with a trusted AC company. Call us at Bailey’s Heating and Air today for expert AC services.
