For 42 years and counting, Parker & Sons has been keeping Phoenix residents comfortable with exceptional heating, cooling, and plumbing services. Founded in 1974 by Grandpa Jack and Grandma Faye Parker, Parker & Sons unwavering commitment to quality has earned them national recognition. Just in time for summer, Parker & Sons, as the most knowledgeable and skilled HVAC contractors in the Valley of the Sun, offers homeowners crucial for buying and installing a new HVAC unit.
Even with regular maintenance and repairs, HVAC units last only 15-25 years. In their twilight years, repairs are needed with higher frequency, causing the cost of operation to rise precipitously. Older HVAV units function less efficiently than new, more technically advanced models. Holding on to an aging HVAC unit can cost homeowners money in the long run. Parker & Sons advises purchasing a new HVAC unit before this point is reached.
“Energy efficiency is what it is all about these days. The standards for energy efficiency have changed a lot over the years. What was once considered a reasonably efficient unit ten years ago, now can’t even meet standards and regulations Yes, more efficient units are going to be more expensive, but they will also save consumers more money over the lifespan of the unit,” said Josh Kelly of Parker & Sons.
The efficiency of a HVAC unit is measuredd in by its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient the unit is. New HVAC units must a minimum SEER rating of 13.
“When a homeowner decides that it is time to buy a new HVAC unit, we work handing in hand with them to make sure they get the perfect unit for their home and their specific needs. At Parker & Sons, we offer advice and guidance. We never push people into buying a unit. After all, they are going to be the one living with it for 15 years or more. We just want to make sure they find the perfect fit,” Kelly later added.
