Highland Park AC Installation Specialists
When selecting a new air conditioner for your home, there are three main styles to choose from. These include traditional central air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems. Each style has its own benefits that our technicians can discuss with you.
There are many benefits that come with updating your old AC unit, including:
- Minimal breakdown risk
- New warranty coverage
- Lower energy bills
- Better indoor comfort
- Higher home value
One feature of a new air conditioner you’ll want to consider is its energy efficiency rating. Seasonal energy efficiency rating, or SEER2 rating for short, is the rating for each unit. Systems with a higher rating cost less to run than those with a lower rating. However, appliances with a high rating usually cost more upfront than those with a lower rating. Finding a good balance between operating efficiency and upfront cost is necessary to determine the appropriate air conditioner for your home.
Another factor to consider is the cooling capacity of the unit. If you purchase a unit that’s too big, it will use a lot of energy, cost a lot upfront, and be unsuccessful at dehumidifying your home. If you get a unit that’s too small, it will run constantly and won’t be able to cool your home to your desired temperature. Our knowledgeable team of expert technicians can assess your home and recommend the appropriate-sized unit to meet your cooling needs.
If you’re not sure whether it’s time for an AC replacement, our technicians can assess your current system and let you know. Typically, central air conditioners that are over 15 years old, and heat pumps or ductless mini-splits that are over 10 years old are nearing the end of their lifespans. Considering an upgrade is a great way to prevent a major breakdown from happening. You’ll also ensure you always have an efficient AC throughout the summer.
