If your home’s AC unit is around 15-20 years, does it show the signs that it might be giving up the ghost? Do you notice problems like refrigerant leaks, motor failures or inefficient cooling? If so, you might need a new system.
When shopping around for your air conditioning system, consider these items:
Proper Size
If you put a motorcycle engine in your car, would you expect it to run like a dream? Probably not because vehicles aren’t a one size fits all operation, and there are many types and sizes of engines used for each vehicle. The same goes for your air conditioning unit.
Did you know that air conditioners not only cool your home, but they are also designed to dehumidify? If you have too large of a unit at your home, the AC unit struggles to do its job at dehumidifying your home, and it won’t feel cold at all. Work with us to get the proper size and add to your comfort.
Efficiency Rating
Who doesn’t like saving money? Having a unit that has a high-efficiency rating will help you save money on your cooling bills when the summer heat peaks. Air conditioning units in the United States must have a seasonal energy efficiency rating (SEER) of at least 13 out of 20.
If you had a unit that had a SEER rating of 14, it would use eight percent less energy than conventional models. Could you stand to save at least 8 percent on your energy bills?
Continued Maintenance
Efficiency ratings are great for making sure the unit runs well, but that only goes so far. If you want to keep your AC unit running like a dream, proper maintenance is a must. In some cases, failure to follow regular maintenance may void the warranty.
