How long should my furnace or air conditioner last?

Older furnaces, made prior to 1980, typically last for 12-15 years. Newer Furnaces with a stainless steel heat exchanger come with a lifetime warranty.

Older air conditioners last 12-14 years. Newer units can last 15-20 year with the proper maintenance.

What efficiency furnace is best for me?

With current energy costs increasing rapidly, we recommend at least a 95% efficient furnace. 80% efficient furnaces are available but will give you less of a return on your investment. In 2009 the government is allowing a tax credit of 30% of the installation cost up to $1,500.00.

S.E.E.R. stands for Seasonal Energy Efficient Rating.

13 SEER, the most common rating, means that the system is 40 percent more efficient than a system eight years ago. The higher the SEER, the better the rating, and the lower your costs of operation.

Every company that has entered your home and quoted you on a new system is going to tell you whatever brand they sell is the best brand for you. Consumer Reports, Heating Air Conditioning and Refirgeration News all state that the contractor capabilities and knowledge of the product they are installing is more imporatant than the actual brand. We prefer Lennox because they offer the homeowner a two year 100% satisfaction guarantee backed by the Good Housekeeping seal as well as the manufacturer. This ensures that no homeowner is stuck with a lemon and guarantees your satisfaction. Always be sure to purchase a product that has the good housekeeping seal so you know that you will have the opportunity to receive a new prioduct or a full refund if you are not 100% satisfied.
