HVAC Buying Guide for Arlington, TX

When purchasing a new HVAC system, whether it’s for a new installation or as a replacement, there are several things you need to know to make the project a success. Understanding what to look for when choosing a model, brand, and size can ensure your home will be at the perfect comfort level all year long.

What you Need to Know When Purchasing an HVAC System in Arlington

Arlington’s moderate year-round temperature is just one of the factors that plays a role in HVAC selection. With relatively low temperatures–around 34 degrees in the winter with hot summer temperatures in the high 90s–it’s important to select a system that can handle the extreme changes as well as address the humidity Arlington experiences. Additional factors to consider include the size of the property, efficiency ratings, and duct work.

HVAC size – This is the most important decision that affects the efficiency of the system. Even if you have a system currently installed, the size may not be in sync with the square footage of your property. Your HVAC sales representative will use the square footage of each room to determine the size HVAC needed.

Energy Efficient Systems – To reap the rewards of the most efficient products, you’ll want to consider Energy Star certified products. Energy Star products carry high EER and SEER ratings. The higher the rating, the more superior efficiency the system maintains.

Duct work – If a system is being installed for the first time, you’ll need to factor in the cost of duct work. If you already have a duct system, it should be inspected by a qualified technician. If the ducts are leaking or damaged, it will have a negative impact on the new system and should be replaced.

Prior to installation, you should hire a licensed contractor and obtain any permits required by the City of Arlington.

Important First Step

Since your contractor will lead you through the entire process, and have the most bearing on the quality of the HVAC install, it is important that you choose a contractor:

  • with whom you feel comfortable.
  • holding the necessary licenses, certifications and insurance coverage such as liability and workers compensation required by Texas
  • who has the experience and HVAC knowledge required to install the equipment correctly and in accordance with the Texas building codes

Hiring a contractor requires you to interview at least three to receive a competitive price for your project, and each should provide you with a written estimate outlining the details of project’s scope. Compare the estimates, verify what you are paying for, and choose the one that fits your budget and meets the requirements mentioned above. Before signing the agreement, verify references, licenses, and insurance as well as the contractors’ standing with the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for outstanding complaints or lawsuits.

Permit Requirements for HVAC in Arlington

New HVAC installation requires possession of an HVAC permit issued by the City of Arlington Building Department. Most HVAC companies include the cost of the permitting process in their estimate, which also includes pulling the permit. Arlington residents can obtain additional permitting information by visiting the Arlington Community Development & Planning website. You can also contact them by calling 817-459-6777. The physical address is City of Arlington, 101 West Abram Street, Arlington, Texas 76010.

Types of HVAC Systems for Arlington, TX

The type best suited for your property will be determined by contractor calculations based on the square footage of your home, climate, energy efficiency, and project budget.

Central Air Conditioners

Central air conditioning systems utilize a duct system to distribute cool air throughout your home. Split systems incorporate both an inside and outside component to produce the conditioned air. Refrigerant circulates between the condensing and evaporator coils cooling the air as it passes through the evaporator coil. A blower assembly — fan and motor — provides the necessary circulation to distribute the conditioned air.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are an energy efficient variation of a central air conditioner, but also capable of producing heat. 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 carries a higher upfront cost, you can recoup the additional expense in energy savings over the next several years.
Hybrid systems such as geothermal heat pumps utilize the constant temperatures of the earth to heat and cool the air while using less energy than traditional systems.

There are many types of HVAC systems with varying degrees of efficiency ratings. Many variations are available include the ductless mini split, ductless heat pump, and split air conditioners.

If installing a new HVAC is on your agenda and you’re interested in alternative financing programs, head to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency. At the website, you’ll find a list of available programs you may find useful. A new HVAC can be costly but the investment will ultimately pay for itself in lower monthly energy bills.
