The Best HVAC for You | Teems Electric

Your heating and air unit is one of those things that exists in the background of your life…that is, until it stops working. Then it is likely all you can think about as your house reaches temperatures that are less than comfortable.

Making the right choice of an effective and efficient HVAC is crucial when you are either installing or replacing a unit. Once installed or updated, with regular maintenance, you can keep the HVAC running smoothly year-round.

Types of Units

There are six major types of HVAC units, and while all of them could be efficient anywhere, there are several factors you will need to determine when choosing the unit. Your location, costs and size of your home are all important things to consider for either a new install or an upgrade.

Electric units and split units are two choices that are ideal in warmer climates and are often on the lower end of price. A boiler system that utilizes heated water and geothermal options are more costly choices, but they are also both highly energy-efficient choices.

When well-maintained, any HVAC option you choose could last between 15 and even 25 years. That means once you make your choice, you can rest comfortably and let your unit hum into the background of your life again.

The Best Unit for Your Home

When you need a new unit, there will be several questions to answer that can steer you into making the best decision. Taking into account the size of the space you will be heating and cooling, your budget, the kind of atmosphere you live in and how energy-efficient you hope to be is necessary to get the best unit for your needs.

In our warmer climate, central air is generally the best option, as it circulates the air most efficiently and can aid in decreasing allergy causing particles inside the home.

You should also keep in mind that bigger does not always equal better. Selecting a unit that is too large for your space could cause it to run more often and lead to higher energy bills.

Working with a local crew for updates and new installs is important. Not only will they best understand the perfect choice for the weather that can be expected year round, they will also help you make choices that can be easily serviced over the years.

Buying a unit without local ties could mean that when it needs parts, they may be hard to find, leaving you waiting and your home heating up or cooling down past a comfortable point.

Whether you are installing a brand-new unit on a new build or updating your current one, push your budget to invest in a quality product. Making choices based on cost could leave you needing more repairs and a unit that cannot sufficiently control the temperature in your home.

Walking into your home at the perfect temperature is something we all desire after a long day. Choose the best unit for your home, and work with our local team to ensure you have the support you will need so that quiet hum can be a permanent piece of your background.
