Uncovering the Facts (Infographic)

Have you ever heard the saying, “Too good to be true”?

That is the case when it comes to the many advertised HVAC deals for residential heating and air conditioning. In Denver, the old, “Buy an A/C for $10,000 and get a free furnace” promotion is, once again, making the rounds.

At Major, we believe in doing things right and part of that is being transparent with homeowners. Over the more than 40 years we have been in business, we have constantly heard about these sorts of deals. But, the bottom line is, they are not a deal. In fact, in some cases those deals cost homeowners more money.

How the “Deal” Works

Here is what happens. Homeowners think they are getting a free furnace when they buy an A/C. But, when you look at the facts, they are not. The deals exist, in part, because they are a better deal for installers as it is easier to replace an A/C unit if the furnace is replaced at the same time.

Most air conditioners are less than $10,000 installed. In some cases, the “deal” is overcharging homeowners for an A/C. And the “free” furnace these deals provide are usually off-market brands that are highly inefficient. These just lead the homeowners down a path of higher heating bills and increased maintenance costs.
