Today, we laud being able to take a malfunctioning part from a car, computer or vacuum cleaner, replace it with a newly minted part from any number of manufacturers, then keep right on plugging along.<\/p>\n<p>Although this is a blessing in most arenas, when it comes to your Anaheim\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/air-conditioning\">HVAC system<\/a>, it is not necessarily a good practice. Heating and cooling systems work best when they are matched \u2013 but what does that mean? And why does it matter?<\/p>\n<h3>Why Matched Parts Matter in HVAC Systems<\/h3>\n<p>When referring to HVAC systems, a matched system is one in which various components are designed to work together. For example, an air conditioner and furnace made by the same manufacturer can be matched, as can a furnace and a heat pump.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the matching is done in such a way that the \u201coutdoor\u201d components, such as air conditioners and heat pumps are designed to work best with their \u201cindoor\u201d partners, like air handlers and furnaces. There are also matched systems in which every component is matched to every other.<\/p>\n<h3>Efficiency Boosts<\/h3>\n<p>While this may seem to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/air-conditioning\/air-conditioning-maintenance\">maintenance<\/a> and repairs a pain, the practice provides a big boost to the efficiency of the system. Because the components were designed and manufactured by the same team to work in harmony, the system performs optimally. Although you can often replace one component of a matched system with one from another manufacturer and have it work fine, the system can lose efficiency, often to a significant and noticeable extent.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, it is best to make use of matched HVAC system in your Anaheim home whenever possible. This means choosing a new matched system to install, replacing broken parts with ones that match the rest of the system and even replacing older systems with newer ones to properly match, when necessary.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem like a hassle at first, but it saves money in the long run by adding increased efficiency over unmatched systems.
