At Main-Care Energy, we believe that you should always feel comfortable and safe in your home — every hour of the day and every season of the year.
If your home’s air conditioning equipment is over 15 years old and isn’t cooling your space like it used to, now is a good time to look into a replacement. We understand that a new A/C installation can seem like a big and disruptive process. However, it can pay off considerably in better home comfort, cleaner indoor air and lower summer energy bills.
To make your A/C replacement process go as smoothly as possible, follow these four practical tips.
Just because you’ve had one type of home cooling option in the past doesn’t mean you need to stick with it when you upgrade. For example, many homes in our service area of the Hudson Valley, the NY Capital Region and Western Vermont lack the ductwork that a central air conditioner requires. A lot of homeowners mistakenly believe that inefficient and unattractive window units are their only option.
Main-Care Energy installs high-efficiency ductless mini-split systems that can provide long-term home cooling and incredible energy savings.
With so many A/C products on the market, choosing the right one and planning for the installation can feel head-spinning. However, a professional HVAC partner will have the tools, training and experience to make your A/C installation go smoothly.
A professional can assess your current cooling system and determine if it is properly sized for your home. They can recommend a larger or smaller A/C, if necessary. Professional technicians can also take care of the additional work that can come with an A/C replacement, like additional ducts and electrical fixes.
Cooling equipment can be a sizable investment, but there are many ways to reduce the upfront costs of your A/C investment while still taking immediate advantage of the increased comfort and reduced energy spending that comes with a cooling upgrade.
At Main-Care Energy, we can assist with competitive financing for up to 10 years. The approval process is incredibly simple, taking less than five minutes!
You may also qualify for HVAC rebates and tax credits for installing high-efficiency A/C equipment.
A new air conditioning product may be a significant investment. But you can ensure that you get the longest service life, the most dependable operations and the highest possible efficiency with regular maintenance.
Main-Care Energy offers our A/C customers a way to guarantee comprehensive maintenance with our Home Protection Plans. These plans include annual preventative maintenance for your cooling equipment, plus priority emergency service, discounted or free repairs and other benefits. It’s the best way to ensure the highest return on your A/C investment!
