Replacing a Heater & AC In An Ocean City Duplex

Problem: A homeowner wanted to replace their original heating and cooling systems from 1997 with new and improved equipment. 

Solution: Replaced with Carrier Infinity 80% AFUE two stage gas furnace with a variable speed blower and a Carrier 14 SEER Comfort outdoor condenser. 

 

Replacing a Heater and Air Conditioner in an Ocean City DuplexIt's not always clear when you need to replace your Heating or Air Conditioning Equipment, but after 20 years, this Ocean City resident knew it was time. This homeowner called up and told us that her Bryant heating and and Air Conditioning system was starting to have some issues. She had the equipment installed when the house was built in 1997, and didn't feel like worrying about it anymore. She wanted to replace the entire system, giving herself peace of mind, as well as an comfortable home.

The systems being replaced were an old Bryant Furnace, and a Freon R-22 Air Conditioning System. This was a great idea to replace the whole system together for a few reasons. The first reason is the use of R-22 to keep air conditioning running. R-22 production has been severely decreased, and will completely stop production in the USA in 2020. R-22 is bad for the environment, and new cooling technology uses safer, and cheaper methods to make the air cool. The price of R-22 is very high, and only going to be higher as the supply dwindles. 

Another great reason to replace these systems is their age. When a system is over 10-15 years old, it's usually time to make a change. Technology goes out of date, and it's likely not as energy efficient as the new systems. Older systems also tend to break down more often, need repairs, and cost money just keeping them running. Replacing the systems will give them a more comfortable home, cost less in energy bills, and the peace of mind knowing their home will be comfortable all year long. 

Carrier Furnace Warming an Ocean City DuplexThey decided to install a new Carrier Infinity 80% AFUE two stage gas furnace with a variable speed blower and a Carrier 14 SEER Comfort outdoor condenser. Not only do they have new equipment now, but also a fresh warranty on this new equipment. This system comes with a 10 year parts & compressor with 20 year heat exchanger warranty from Carrier. The new two stage gas furnace does a better job heating the home then the other unit did, and using less energy to do it.

Because these systems are also new Carrier systems, they have the ability to compliment each other. The air conditioner can be on, while the heating system's fan blows the cool air around the home for example. Having a heating and cooling system made from the same company allows for this complimentary effect. 

This homeowner decided to finance the project, with only a $225 monthly payment for brand new Heating AND Cooling equipment. This equipment should be in their home for the next 15-20 years, and with the reduced energy bills, it will pay for itself in the long run. It's not always necessary to replace your heating and cooling systems at the same time, but if it's called for, there are incredible options and benefits!
