4 Consideration to Determine the True Price of Heating/Cooling Systems

When it comes time to looking for new heating and cooling equipment, you may be overwhelmed or confused by the choices and the range of prices you see. However, it’s important to look beyond the sticker price to understand not only the true cost of the systems you are looking at but also the true value of the equipment you are considering purchasing. To do so, there are 4 main aspects to consider.

1. Your Needs

No matter how much or little you pay for a new heating/cooling system, if it doesn’t meet your needs, it is not worth the expense.  Therefore, before you decide on a new heating/cooling system, be sure to understand your home heating and cooling needs as well as the capacity and output of the systems you’re considering. A knowledgeable sales representative at a reputable company can help you calculate your needs, compare the benefits of each type of system, and present appropriate options within your budget.

2. The Type of System, Its Effectiveness & Efficiency

Before you can compare brands or models, you must first compare the types of heating and cooling systems. Some common replacement types in Montreal include:

• electric baseboards, which are economical to purchase and easy to install and use but only provide local and uneven heat distribution. They also take up wall space.
• heat pumps transfer heat from a low-temperature area to a higher-temperature area, so they can be used for heating and cooling. Heat pumps can provide a central system through ducts or local temperature control through https://www.confortexpert.com/en/heat-pump/wall-mounted/ductless options.
• Natural gas furnaces offer a ducted central heating system that provides quick and efficient heating.

3. The Quality of Product Offered

Once you have narrowed down the type of system that best suits your needs, be sure to compare apples to apples. The quality of heating and cooling systems can vary significantly between manufacturers and models. Higher-quality products often come with a higher price tag but may offer better energy efficiency, durability, and performance. Various models may also feature advanced technologies, operate more quietly, or come with a longer warranty period. At Confort Expert we make your choice easier by narrowing down the option to only trusted products from quality brands.

4. Installation, Warranties & After-sales Service

Compare oranges to oranges and find out what kind of after-sales service is included.

• For safety and system efficiency, professional installation is highly recommended. Look for a licensed company with qualified installation personnel who know how to install safely and correctly.
• Consider the length and coverage of warranties and the availability of quality and efficient after-sales service including customer support and maintenance options that may provide you with peace of mind and potentially lower long-term costs.
