Prior to this modern way of thinking people would purchase an HVAC system and expect it to run for the duration of the ownership.
Home ownership and everything that goes along with it has come a long way in the last 50 years. In years past most homeowners were couples with children and they intended to stay in their home or at least 10 to 15 years. With changing times comes a new way of looking at purchasing a home and how long you will own it. With the younger generation the idea of staying in the same house for that long seems a bit odd and they are often looking to stay only 5 years before moving on. Because of the quick turnover there are many other things that are changed just as frequently. People tend to buy a home, renovate or fix it up, and then turn it for a profit in order to move on to bigger and better places. For this reason HVAC systems are changed more frequently and homes than they ever were before. Prior to this modern way of thinking people would purchase an HVAC system and expect it to run for the duration of the ownership. Between buying and selling homes and the advancements in technology there is good reason to change out your HVAC system more frequently. Newer and more efficient models are enticing because they not only improve your property value but they allow you to save money on energy cost while living there. Is it any wonder that there are so many HVAC dealers in many areas now? These companies are able to make a profit because they are constantly selling and installing new systems or upgrading existing ones to meet the demands of homeowners.
