HVAC Buying Guide for Warren

This HVAC buying guide is designed to help Warren, Michigan residents considering replacing or installing a new HVAC system in their homes or business property. While it does not cover all of the bases, it does focus on the important initial steps needed to legally install an HVAC system.

Getting Started on HVAC Purchase in Warren

This process involves scheduling estimates with at least three HVAC contractors or companies. Prices will differ as each contractor follows pricing guides specific to the brand of equipment they sell. In addition, most contractors will provide a quality installation; however, a few might cut corners to provide a less expensive estimate. It is important to read between the lines and cover all of the details of your estimate.

Verifying Your Warren HVAC Contractor

It is to your benefit to verify all aspects of contractor credentials before signing an contract. Warren area residents can use the Michigan Contractor Licenses Directory to verify the license status of potential contractors.

HVAC Features to Consider in Warren

When replacing or purchasing a new HVAC system in your home or business, consider the following system upgrades:

  • High Performance: Warren, Michigan is subjected to severe and harsh winter conditions. purchasing an HVAC system with a 90 percent or more AFUE rating would be recommended. While systems with higher AFUE ratings carry a higher price tag, your system will use less energy to produce heat. If you desire a higher cooling efficiency, ask for HVAC equipment with higher SEER “Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating” ratings for greater efficiency.
  • Variable speed fans: These provide more system efficiency and control versus single speed systems resulting in less energy use and lower energy costs
  • Equipment Warranties: Pay close attention to equipment warranties. How long is the warranty period and what is included? Is the cost of the warranty included in the installation price?
  • Extended Warranty:  Consider purchasing an extended warranty and/or service contract from your HVAC contractor. Often, HVAC companies will offer you reduced costs on labor and parts when entering into a yearly service agreement

Types of HVAC Systems Sold in Warren

The list below represents the most common types of HVAC — forced air — systems and the basic principles of how they work.

Central Air Conditioners

Central air conditioning systems distribute cool air throughout your home using a circuit or series of connected ducts. Split systems — both an inside and outside component — are the most common types. Refrigerant circulates between the condensing and evaporator coils and the air is cooled as it passes through the evaporator coil. A blower assembly — fan and motor — provides the necessary circulation to distribute the conditioned air.

Heat Pumps

A heat pump is a variation of a central air conditioner. Heat pumps are capable of delivering both heated and cool air. They work by transferring the inside heat to the outside during the summer months to cool the home, and extracting heat from the outside air or ground to the inside during the winter months to warm it. Heat pump systems are one of the most energy efficient systems available today. Although a heat pump will cost you more up front, the energy savings realized over the first few years of its operation usually pay for the additional costs.

Furnaces

A furnace is part of the forced air family as well. There are various types of furnaces with the most common using gas combustion or electric resistance heat strips to produce the necessary heat. Most are equipped with a blower assembly to distribute the heated air throughout the home. Since a furnace is only capable of producing heat it is sometimes retrofitted with a central air conditioner to provide cool air during the summer months.
