Remodeling

So you're getting ready to remodel your home. There are a million things that you can do - replace your kitchen floor, expand that bathroom that you always wanted a jacuzzi in - or, you can invest in something that is much more practical. Sometimes we can get caught up in the glitter of a remodel, rather than remembering that a functional investment in your home often helps out much more.

A Remodel or an HVAC System?

When you are considering the options for your home, whether it is a kitchen remodel, a bath remodel, or another part of your home, it can be very tempting to remodel what looks good. No one sees your HVAC system (unless you are selling a house) - and no one will notice the difference except you. Your home will be cool and comfortable in the summer, warm in the winter. Your energy bills will go down. Best of all, you can replace the system while you have the money in the budget to do it. 4 Seasons Heating & Air offers several fine products for installation.

An HVAC System with Your Remodel

If you are completing a room addition or another remodel, remember that considering the HVAC system in your home is an essential factor.

When someone hires a general contractor to add onto their home - a new sunroom, a walk in closet, or a room addition - often everything goes well until the subject of the HVAC system is approached. Trying to save money, many homeowners and contractors will try to "tie in the old system" rather than simply calling an HVAC company. Unfortunately, this doesn't work most of the time. When homeowners ask us to come in to fix their room additions - often there is nothing we can do. We will often suggest a mini-split system when you start a room addition - but these have to be installed with the original structure. Other times, a general contractor brings in a heating and cooling technician who will do the smallest amount possible so that the cost doesn't dig into the overall profit.

If you hire a trustworthy HVAC contractor before you start the project, go over your options and decide on what you want and what will fit into your budget, you can have a useful addition. Better than that - 4 Seasons is then responsible to you, the owner, rather than the general contractor.
