Every homeowner must have at least a basic knowledge on HVAC, how it works, and what to look and watch out for.

Huffington Post shared a very informative article for those looking to buy a new home, and would need a bit of information on HVAC Systems.

“But finding the right house isn’t always easy to do. Often times, buying your first home can be a confusing process filled with uncertainty and hidden costs that don’t surface until months or even years later. HVAC equipment is often one of those hidden costs. If you’ve been a renter all of your life, you probably haven’t had to worry much about dealing with heating and air conditioning issues — except for letting in the HVAC technician when a problem arises. On average, a new furnace can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $12,000 and an AC unit could cost $3,500 to $10,000. If you are looking for a new home, it’s important to consider the age and quality of the HVAC system so that you don’t end up spending thousands of dollars in extra repairs or unit replacements.”
