Replacing your current air conditioner is a significant investment. Therefore, it is best to take your time and do your due diligence, so you can make an educated decision.

Questions To Ask When Considering A New Air Conditioner: What Size And Type Is Right For My Home?

You may think having a bigger air conditioner is the answer to keeping your home cooler. This is not always the case.

Bigger is not always better. The size of your AC unit is based on multiple factors such as square footage, number of windows/doors in your home, ceiling height and more.

Purchasing the correct sized unit is extremely important to maximize efficiency. Count on our expert technicians to conduct an assessment and perform a load calculation to determine the appropriate size unit.

Is My Ductwork In Good Shape?

If you decide to move forward, be sure to have your ductwork inspected first. A professional AC technician will discuss this with you and may recommend cleaning, repairing any leaks and cracks before installation.

Questions To Ask When Considering A New Air Conditioner: What New Technologies Should I Consider?

Technology is always improving to maximize efficiency and be more environmentally responsible. These innovative strategies help you save money on an AC Replacement.

For example, new refrigerants are being incorporated that are better for the environment.

Variable AC units that operate at extremely low speeds, making minute adjustments, are very efficient and are getting better with time.

For maximum efficiency, smart thermostats are highly recommended since you can control your settings remotely from your phone, adjusting it when you are away or about to return.

What Warranties Come With The Brands You Carry?

Keep in mind all warranties – and HVAC companies – are not the same. Be sure to read the warranty in detail and review your options carefully. Look for the manufacturer’s warranty, dealer’s warranty, and extended warranty. When you work with us, we will ensure you fully understand each plan.

Questions To Ask When Considering A New Air Conditioner: How Do I Extend The Life Of My Unit?

The best way to extend the life of your equipment is to have it maintained regularly. We recommend a tune-up of your unit once a year. Once you become a member of our Service Maintenance Club, you will receive an annual tune-up along with additional perks, making it a worthwhile investment.

Plus, having a certified technician inspect your unit annually means small issues can be caught before they become expensive repairs.

PRO TIP: Most AC brands require proof of maintenance to keep your warranty intact.

Which AC Unit Is Best?

There are several types of systems from which to choose. It is important to think about factors such as your budget, how long you are planning to stay in your home, and the square footage of your home.

AC units are getting more efficient each year. For example, an inverter-driven unit is a great choice for maximum efficiency, with ratings up to 22 SEER. The upfront expense may be higher, but the monthly energy bill is lower.

A ductless mini split unit is a cost-effective option for room additions, spaces with hot or cold spots, or a garage. They are compact, quiet, and provide even cooling.
