When it comes to the efficiency of HVAC systems, there’s a component that’s not discussed nearly as often. Sure, you can buy a super-efficient central AC or heat pump, but if the ductwork in your home is in poor shape, you’re paying a lot for a system that doesn’t have a good support system to go along with it.

If you’ve had to rely on window air conditioners to cool your home, we’re bet you’re quite sick of them by now.

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.
