No. It is essential that your new HVAC system be the right size for your home, not too small and not too large. Oversized equipment unnecessarily increases your energy usage and therefore your energy bill. Oversized cooling equipment will not properly remove humidity from your home making you feel cold and clammy. Oversized equipment also leads to more maintenance issues and shorter life span for your new equipment.

Sometimes the furnace can be placed on a stand elevating it off the ground. This would really depend on the height of the basement, height of the furnace and its associated coil and plenum, and configuration. Sometimes it is possible to move a furnace from a crawl space to the attic.

Heating and cooling equipment, regardless of brand, should be inspected, cleaned, and serviced at least once a year. The heating system should be checked in the fall and the air conditioning system in the spring.

A heating or cooling system is a significant investment, and it only makes sense to make the most of it. In general, most HVAC systems will last 15 to 25 years, but this estimate can be highly variable depending on the type of system and other contributing factors such as how frequently the heater is maintained.

Regular tune-ups ensure that your heating and cooling systems operate as efficiently as possible for as long as possible. When your HVAC system is operating at maximum efficiency, it uses less energy, which can result in lower utility bills. HVAC maintenance is also worthwhile because it prevents system breakdowns and extends the life of your unit, while giving you and your family peace of mind that your heater will always be fully functional during every winter.
