| Buying your home's first system? Replacing your current one? Just upgrading a single component? Here are some simple guidelines to help you through the process. |
| Finding the ideal system starts with asking the right questions |
Evaluate your current home environment and identify your unique comfort needs. Start by answering the following questions:
- Do your heating and air conditioning bills seem too high?
- Is your indoor unit or your outdoor unit (or both) too noisy?
- Do you have a problem with humidity in the summer? Dry air in the winter?
- Are there any rooms in your home that are always too hot or too cold?
- Do you have pets or do any family members suffer from allergies?
- Do you have problems with lingering cooking odors?
- Does your system run all the time?
- Does your furnace short-cycle, constantly turn off and on?
- Is your system easy to maintain, with a filter that’s easy to get to and change?
- Is your outdoor unit unattractive and not aging well?
- Is your outdoor unit backyard-safe?
- Is your system still covered by a warranty?

| Set up an appointment with GEAR Heating and Cooling. |
After thinking about your current situation and home system, GEAR Heating and Cooling will help custom design and fit a system to meet your unique comfort needs. Before your appointment:
- Take inventory of your system. Make a note of the model numbers on your current equipment (if any). Search your files for the available paperwork. You should also be able to find the model numbers on the units themselves.
- Be prepared to talk with your Comfort Specialist about your geographic location, and the structure of your home—not to mention the specific comfort needs of you and your family. These are especially important if you are in the market for the first time, or putting a system in a home where there has never been a central system.
- We at GEAR perform a thorough structural analysis of your home. This will help determine the proper-sized system for your home. This analysis will include a load calculation to verify the proper type and size of your new Trane system.
- Think about financing. Remember, you're investing in your year-round comfort—not to mention the long-term comfort of you and your family.
- Prepare for installation day. GEAR will provide you with our NATE Certified Technicians for the installation process.
- We at GEAR will help program your thermostat settings for your Comfort needs, go over the owner’s manual, and review the warranty information for your specific models.
