I’m getting quotes next week on a new system to be installed by the end of 2024, before the new requirements take effect. Got a new roof earlier this year, getting a new hot water heater next week, and now a new HVAC system. Hopefully that will help us get a better rate on a new homeowners policy with Farmers pulling out of the state and dropping us.
Call me skeptical, but I find it difficult to believe that HVAC companies will be charging a minimum of 25 percent more for a new system in 2025. It sounds like they are trying to unload their in-stock old systems while they can. After January 1, 2025, these systems will be worthless.
