Understanding the Benefits of a Matched System

You've made the decision – it's time to replace your heating or cooling unit. As you work with your local Lennox^® dealer to find the best product solutions for your home, you may be surprised when they recommend that you replace your system's counterpart, the furnace or air conditioner, as well to ensure you have a matched system. It may not seem like you need to replace your furnace in the middle of the summer heat or your AC in the chill of winter, but there's good reasoning for replacing both of your home's units at the same time.
