Good post, i think there are a lot of factors in this decision, but i think in the long run, you can save a lot of money by replacing your system with a higher efficiency one.

Geothermal is a good green alternative but the cost is very high compaired to traditional systems. I had an estimate this week and the system cost was $15K plus the cost of drilling two wells (another $10K)! Would it pay off in the long, LONG run? Yes, but the cost is an important factor. There are also physical site requiremetns. Even if I could afford it my lot would not accomadate two wells because they had to be 60 feet apart. In addition, there was no way to get the drilling rig into my backyard. This is a great alternative for new construction and for large, accessible lots. BTW, I live in the Orlando, FL area and every location is going to vary quite a bit so don’t hesitate to get an estimate – you might be surprised.

Here is another tip. Look into a geothermal system. The cost to operate it will be only a fraction of the cost of a traditional system.

I had an air conditioner installed just last month. On a friends’ recommendation I had hired Right Now Air(http://www.rightnowair.com) for air conditioning service. The service guys arrived on time, were efficient and also gave me helpful tips on air conditioner maintenance. It was good to come across a competent, reasonably-priced air conditioning company. You can ask them for air conditioning repair /advice at Right Now Air.

Clean your Air Conditioner before the season begins. Foreign material on the condenser coil reduces the system’s capacity to remove heat from the house so your air conditioning system must run longer, increasing energy (up to 2X) consumption.
