HVAC upgrades for older homes

If you live in an older home, you may have noticed that your HVAC system isn’t quite as efficient as it used to be. This is due to the rapid advancements in HVAC technology over the years, as well as the natural wear and tear that occurs over time. Fortunately, upgrading your HVAC system can improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, and improve your overall comfort. Here are a few HVAC upgrades to consider for older homes.

  1. Replace outdated equipment – If your HVAC system is more than 10 years old, it may be time to replace it with a newer, more efficient model. Newer models are designed to use less energy, so you can enjoy a more comfortable home while reducing your energy costs.
  2. Install a programmable thermostat – A programmable thermostat allows you to set temperature schedules for different times of the day, so you don’t have to waste energy heating or cooling your home when you’re not there.
  3. Seal air leaks – Leaks in your ductwork can allow heat to escape, causing your HVAC system to work harder than it needs to. Sealing these leaks can improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.
  4. Insulate ductwork – Insulating your ductwork can help reduce heat loss, so your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home.
  5. Upgrade to a high-efficiency air conditioner – If your air conditioner is more than 10 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency model can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.
  6. Replace single-pane windows with double-pane windows – Single-pane windows are less energy-efficient than double-pane windows, so upgrading your windows can help reduce energy costs and improve comfort.
