It's something you may not truly appreciate until there's a problem with it that requires calling an HVAC technician. Only then do you notice how much more difficult it is to sleep through the muggy nights or how tough it is to be productive when you just can't seem to cool off. If you are a homeowner, your family and your guests may be uncomfortable because it’s not the cool safe haven from the burning sun and the all-consuming humidity.
Situations such as these stress just how important it is that your air conditioning unit is reliable. But a good air conditioning unit should not only be reliable, but efficient as well. Air conditioning can become a costly expense each month if you don't choose a unit that operates in a smart and efficient manner, reducing its energy usage whenever possible. Recent years have yielded a variety of models that can save you bundles of cash over the course of their lifetime due to how little electricity they can use. Buying a new air conditioning unit can yield you immediate savings that may pay for the new unit over time.
The process of buying a new air conditioning unit can be a daunting process. There are a lot of options out there and plenty of people trying to push their products on you.
- Proper Size: One of the most apparent factors in choosing the best air conditioner is its BTUH rating. Our Comfort Advisors perform a heat loss and heat gain calculation on every estimate to assure you getting a properly sized system. Do you know an oversized system will cool to the desired temperature but it may not remove enough humidity making you feel cool and clammy and an undersized system will not get to the desired set point resulting in a warm home. Our comfort advisors will ask questions like are there any hot or cold spots in your home? We want to make sure that when it’s all said and done you are 100% satisfied with your new system and it works just like we promised it would.
-Noise levels: Some cooling units can produce quite a bit of noise. Be sure to keep that in mind.
-Cost: Both the upfront cost and the cost of keeping it running should be taken into consideration.
-The SEER Rating: Department of Energy has established efficiency standards for the air conditioning industry and every A/C model is given a SEER rating which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the number, the more efficient is the unit.
