How to Choose the Right HVAC for a Home Addition

Homeowners must decide which type of HVAC system is most appropriate for their home addition projects. A smart HVAC system helps regulate the temperature, maintain indoor air quality and optimize energy efficiency, all of which ensure the optimal comfort of the residents.

Research the Local Climate

When selecting an HVAC system for your new home addition, make sure you consider the impact of the local climate, including temperature changes and humidity levels. An air conditioning unit is essential in regions with hot and humid climates, while furnaces are necessary for colder climates. Understanding the behavior of the local climate will help you determine which type of HVAC system is best suited to provide comfort year-round.

Determine the Size of Your Home Addition

It is also crucial to measure the square footage of your home addition when selecting an HVAC system. This will determine the appropriate type of unit to install based on its ability to efficiently heat an area. If the unit is too small, it will not be able to maintain proper comfort levels. If too large, energy consumption could significantly increase, leading to high energy costs.

Assess Your Home’s Existing HVAC System

Lastly, do not forget to consider the existing HVAC system of your residence. By identifying its age and evaluating its performance, you can make informed decisions about the HVAC design that will best accompany it. If you have an older system in place, it may be less efficient than when it was new. With this information, you may want a more advanced model with improved features and functionality.
