This is a question we sometimes hear from customers: “Is it possible to purchase used (previously owned) air conditioning equipment as a way to save money?”

We understand why people might think this is an option. After all, you can purchase many items used and get good use out of them, such as cars, exercise equipment, furniture—and homes, of course! Why wouldn’t this be possible with an air conditioning system?

But the straightforward answer to this question is No. No HVAC professional recommends it, and you’ll find it difficult to locate a unit to purchase.

If you own or operate a commercial business, you need to know that commercial HVAC requirements are much different from residential ones. This applies even to a smaller facility. Commercial systems must work longer, handle greater volumes of heating and cooling, and deal with a larger number of people.

How can you find the right contractors and technicians for these jobs? If you’re delaying service, know that postponing HVAC repairs can lead to bigger issues that affect both comfort and energy efficiency in your commercial space.

How to Choose Your Next AC System Installation

Monday, May 22nd, 2023
Happy family sitting together indoors, enjoying comfort provided by heating system installation.

Many homeowners who are in the market for a new air conditioner are overwhelmed by the available options for today’s modern cooling systems. Air conditioning systems aren’t nearly the same as they were a mere 15 years ago. Not only have the ever-popular central ACs become much more energy efficient, but the 2-in-1 heat pump has also surged in popularity.

Our installation team brings decades of combined experience, ensuring expertise and reliability for every Memphis AC installation project. Installing a new air conditioning system is a big investment for homeowners, so it’s important to choose the right AC units and HVAC systems to ensure comfort and long-term value. Professional installation in Memphis provides the benefit of local expertise, tailored solutions, and knowledge of the unique climate needs in the area.

Investing in a new system offers improved comfort, increased energy efficiency, and can enhance your home’s value.

So how do you know which system to choose when it’s time for air conditioning installation? There are many factors to consider such as your budget, how long you intend to own your home, how important an eco-friendly option is, and your household makeup. Let’s dive into the options considering each of these factors, or explore key questions to ask yourself before investing in a new AC for added clarity. 

How do you choose the right heating system installation?

  • Begin by evaluating your budget, how long you plan to stay in your home, and whether eco-friendly heating matters to you.
  • Consider your household makeup, options like ductless systems offer zoning control, while central systems excel at whole-home distribution.
  • Have professionals perform a proper sizing/load calculation to avoid inefficiencies or wear from systems that are too large or too small.
  • Prioritize energy efficiency and long-term value, higher-efficiency units may cost more initially but reduce utility bills over time.
