THE PROBLEM: During the middle of the summer heat, an 18-year-old HVAC system stopped providing air conditioning in a Doylestown, PA home, leaving the homeowner without reliable cooling when it was needed most. The existing Carrier heating and cooling system had served the home well for nearly two decades, but with the air conditioner no longer keeping the house comfortable, it was time to determine whether another repair made sense or if replacing the aging HVAC system was the better long-term solution.
THE SOLUTION: After evaluating the home and confirming the heating and cooling load, the existing equipment sizing proved to be appropriate. That meant the homeowner could focus on what really mattered: replacing an aging HVAC system with newer, more efficient equipment. The 18-year-old Carrier system was replaced with a Trane 16 SEER air conditioning system and 96% AFUE furnace, upgrading from the home's previous 13 SEER air conditioner and 90% AFUE furnace.
