We really are in the dog days of summer. For most Texans, this time of year is marked by long days in the pool, lots of indoor activities and high electricity bills!
As the manager or owner of a multi-family or apartment building, upgrading your HVAC system can be one of the largest expenses you’ll have. It’s easy to wonder if it’s worth it -but new air conditioners for your multi-family unit can benefit both your tenants’ comfort and your wallet. With highs routinely in the triple digits, it is essential to have an efficient HVAC System.
Here are the top four benefits of upgrading your HVAC system:
Reduced Energy Costs
If your air conditioners are more than 10 years old, chances are good that they are not very efficient. Air conditioning units made today use half of the energy their predecessors used to deliver the same amount of cold air. Considering that cooling your multi-family unit makes up the majority of your power consumption during the summer months, an upgrade could save you hundreds of dollars a year in electricity costs.
Better Climate Control
Old air conditioning systems had two settings: on and off. When the temperature got too high, the system would turn on and run full blast until the temperature came down and would turn off. This meant that your buildings’ temperature would fluctuate throughout the day. Modern units come with variable speed fans that deliver precise cooling. This way, they always keep your building at the temperature you prefer.
Quieter Systems
Old air conditioners are often big and loud when they run. New models look sleek and produce far less noise.
Many Have Extended Warranties
If your system is old, it may no longer have a warranty. When it breaks down, the entire cost to fix it falls on you to pay. A new HVAC system often comes with an extended warranty, offering years of coverage to pay for servicing or repairs. This gives you the peace of mind that you will not have a large, unexpected costs for air conditioning.
