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. When an air conditioning system gets replaced, the old unit is sent for recycling. When you need a new HVAC installation in Conyers, GA, you need a new AC!

How HVAC Maintenance Plans Pay for Themselves

June 5th, 2023

When you’re a homeowner, sometimes it seems like the expenses are never-ending. We understand that budgets need to be adhered to and not everyone has the funds for expenses that might seem unnecessary.

However, HVAC maintenance isn’t really one of those things that should be seen as “extra spending.” Your HVAC system is an significant investment in your home and the best way to protect it is by paying for maintenance.

When you realize that regular tune-ups are the best thing you can do to ward off unexpected repair bills and complete breakdowns, you can see how maintenance really does pay for itself. Not only that, but it maximizes the lifespan of your equipment.

In fact, 80% of the repairs we see are needed for HVAC systems that haven’t received maintenance. That’s why we truly feel that maintenance pays for itself. If it guards against needing just one minor repair, it is worth the price.
