When Should You Repair or Replace Your HVAC System?

A Homeowner's Guide to Choosing the Right Heating and Cooling System

Replacing your heating and air conditioning system is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home — and in southwest Missouri, where summers run hot and humid and winters can still bring hard freezes, the stakes of getting it right are higher than in a lot of climates.

If this is your first HVAC replacement, you probably have questions like:

• How do I know what size system I actually need?
• Should I just replace it with the same size unit?
• What happens during an HVAC estimate?
• What should a contractor look at before giving me a quote?
• How long does installation actually take?
• How do I know I'm getting the right system, not just the one that's easiest to sell?

A contractor who knows what they're doing will walk you through all of this before you ever sign anything. Here's what that process should actually look like — and a few things worth watching for if it doesn't.
