As temperatures rise and the summer months approach, ensuring that your air conditioning system is in optimal condition becomes paramount for maintaining comfort and livability in your home. Many homeowners consider replacing both the AC and furnace together to improve efficiency, ensure system compatibility, and achieve greater cost savings. Replacing the furnace and AC as a paired system provides year-round comfort and ensures both units are compatible for optimal performance. Choosing a matched system ensures both units are designed to work together, maximizing efficiency and reliability. When replacing both units, you are typically only paying for labor once instead of twice, which can make the process more cost-effective. Replacing both the AC and furnace often saves on installation costs due to reduced labor fees. However, with age and wear and tear, your AC unit may struggle to keep up with cooling demands, leading to potential discomfort and increased energy costs. If you are considering a replacement, choosing a new air conditioning unit with a high efficiency level can improve performance, lower utility bills, and may qualify you for tax credits or rebates. An older system is often less efficient and more prone to breakdowns, making replacement a smart investment. At Schaible’s, we understand the importance of a reliable AC system, and recognize that your heating system is also an integral part of overall home comfort and efficiency, which is why we’re here to help you determine whether it’s time for an air conditioning replacement in Phillipsburg, NJ.
Should You Replace Your AC or Furnace Before Peak Season?
If your system is 10–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, delivers uneven cooling or heating, or has poor energy efficiency, replacement is often more cost-effective than repair. New units offer:
- Lower energy bills and higher efficiency
- More consistent comfort and better performance
- Fewer breakdowns during the peak season
