The other thing is that some of the Insurance companies are requiring everything, Roof/AC/WH to be under 15 years old. I tell people that I know of two insurers they should get quotes from first before you change out working equipment. I don't get anything from those companies other than the satisfaction that we aren't disposing of equipment that is working properly. |
I would tend to agree based on what I've seen and heard. This is why even if your system is only 10 years old and you have the budget, it may be prudent to change your system out this year for one of the variable speed inverter systems like the Carrier Infinity Greenspeed that qualifies for the $2,000 Federal Tax Credits vs waiting a couple of years and paying significantly more for the same system or have to go with a basic single stage system because the variable speed systems will be too far out of reach by then.
