Replacing a furnace or air conditioner isn’t something most homeowners are excited about doing. We don’t normally give any thought to these parts of our home until they break, but being proactive can end up saving you in the long run. The life span of a furnace ranges anywhere from about 10-15 years, and the life span of an air conditioner is about 10-12 years. Both of these systems are usually only under warranty for 10 years or less. So, once you are outside of that 10-year mark, you are looking at pricey repairs every time they break down. When it is time to replace one of these systems, if they were installed at the same time, having to replace the other will not be far behind. When you are needing to replace either the furnace or the air conditioner, you will save a substantial amount of money if you have the technician install the two new units at the same time. This is much better than paying for an installation of a furnace and later that year, paying for another installation if you end up having to replace the air conditioner. Getting the technician to do both at the same time saves on the installation cost. Plus, you get two new units that are under warranty for quite some time. Installing a Trane RunTru furnace and air conditioner is one of our top choices, as these lines are well known for their reliability and quality while still being affordable.
The Install
We recently had a customer in Lakefield, a village in the township of Selwyn that was having issues with their furnace. They needed us to diagnose what was wrong with their 15-year-old system. After inspecting, the technician determined that it would not be worth repairing. Due to the cost of the repairs and the condition of the older furnace, they were recommended to replace the unit. Their air conditioner was installed at the same time as the furnace, and it had already had several repairs done to it. The customers also knew it would have to be looked at in the spring since it was not cooling as effectively at the end of the summer of the previous year. The customer thought it would be best to see about getting both the furnace and the air conditioner installed at the same time. This way they would save on the installation costs, and possible future repairs of the air conditioner later that year. They chose to go with the Trane RunTru furnace model A951X and the matching Trane RunTru air conditioner. The installation went like this:
- Disconnected power to the existing furnace and air conditioner
- Removed existing furnace and air conditioner
- Set up new furnace where the old one was
- Added new wiring to connect to the new furnace
- Retrofitted existing vents to accommodate the new unit
- Added new refrigerant line sets to connect to the new A/C
- Set up new air conditioner unit in place of the old one
- Connected power to both the Trane RunTru furnace and air conditioner
- Ran test of both units
That was it! We had a happy customer with a fully functioning Trane RunTru furnace and air conditioner. They got to have the peace-of-mind that these two units were under warranty for the next ten years, so any repair costs would be minimal.
