The question of how to choose HVAC equipment and whether there is a difference when you compare cheap HVAC or expensive HVAC equipment, is largely a question of budget more than anything else!

Unlike other purchasing decisions which are largely relative to what features and benefits we prefer when comparing products, the decision of what type of air conditioner and furnace to buy is primarily a matter of how well you want the equipment to work, how long you want it to last and how much money do you want to save on your utility bills.

When comparing cheap HVAC equipment Vs expensive HVAC equipment, what you will find is that the price of the equipment is in direct proportion to how well it is built and how good it will work. You get what you pay for; plain and simple. The better HVAC equipment carries a larger price tag and may require a little extra for the additional labor required to install the better equipment.

Orange Home Services believes that you should buy based on your budget, but not the price of the equipment or the install. In other words, we encourage you to buy the best HVAC equipment that you can comfortably afford based on your budget. Your purchasing decision should not be based on price alone and whichever HVAC equipment package is cheaper.

The truth is, that an HVAC company will actually profit MORE from installing CHEAP HVAC equipment. The profit margins for the better HVAC equipment are actually less than cheap furnaces and cheap air conditioners. Orange Home Services is more concerned with your long term comfort and satisfaction however and that is why we will always provide the most accurate product information possible, while explaining the differences in cheap HVAC Vs expensive HVAC, so that you can decide what makes the most sense to you in your given circumstance.

Here are just a few important points to keep in mind when choosing your HVAC equipment:

1. Better HVAC equipment will provide higher energy efficiency, which means it will cost less to operate. It is not uncommon for your electric and gas bill to be cut nearly in half by replacing your old HVAC equipment with new energy efficient HVAC equipment.
2. Better HVAC equipment is much quieter than “builder grade” or cheap HVAC equipment. The best furnaces and the best air conditioners are so quiet in fact, that you can barely tell they are even on.
3. Better HVAC equipment does it’s job much better than cheap HVAC equipment. Your home will be more comfortable year-round because the equipment and installation produces more even heating and cooling, eliminating hot spots, cool spots and stabilizing the temperature throughout all the rooms in your home regardless of whether you have a ranch, two-story, split level, etc.
4. Better HVAC equipment lasts longer, carries a longer warranty and therefore costs you less in the long-run for maintenance and repairs. Not only does better equipment offer lower long term maintenance costs, but it ensures that your heating and cooling system will function properly when you need it the most. There’s nothing worse than having your furnace break-down during the cold bitter months between December and February in Chicago, or having your air conditioner break down during the hot muggy days in Chicago between July and September.
5. The difference in price you’ll pay for better HVAC equipment is less than you may think and well worth the savings you will enjoy seeing on your utility bills! Since an HVAC system is probably the 3rd largest purchase a typical family might make, its important not to be short sighted and try to save a few hundred dollars now, only to have it cost you thousands of dollars more later on, because of the high price of natural gas and electric in Chicago land.
6. Lastly, regardless of whether your purchase is for the residential home you live in, or the purchase is for a rental property you might own, better equipment will mean a huge cost savings. In the case of the landlord – renter, better HVAC equipment will not only keep your tenants more comfortable, but cost them less for utilities, which means they will be inclined to continue renting from you year after year, while ensuring you the property owner that you have installed reliable equipment that won’t require frequent service calls to keep your tenants happy and comfortable season after season.
