New Air Conditioner Buying Guide

By Jane Dabad


Most homes in this country have heating and cooling systems, which obviously makes life better: Dehumidifying, cooling, and filtering the air your family takes in.

Choosing the appropriate combination of equipment can certainly be a tough job due to the fact that you need to consider things like initial fees, energy efficiency rating and other things prior to purchasing one. Capacity of the unit is a vital factor to think about, since you require equipment that isn't too little or big for the house or office to be heated or cooled. An experienced contractor could make the load calculations needed.

One more factor to consider before acquiring HVAC equipment is the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. These ratings will allow you to learn the efficiency of the air conditioning unit. It is law for the newest models to have at least 13 SEER rating.

There are a lot of brands of air conditioning accessible around the U.S. That are well known for their good quality. Bryant, Carrier, Lennox, Amana, and Trane are 5 of the best brands out there. All of these manufacturers provide great heating and cooling equipment with a lot of options that'll fit every budget. You could discover these great air conditioning brands at your local HVAC stores, home improvement shops, or even online.

When selecting a brand a big constraint is the price. However, selecting a A/C system based on just price may cost you a lot more over the following decade of owning it. Each of these brands are great quality and very reliable. The well known brands will certainly be more expensive, but they'll always be around when you require service. The models that have high efficiency ratings will also add to the price of the front end, but they'll save you money in the long run.

Without a doubt it is safer to upgrade an old air conditioning system to a newer one that is more effective, especially if it's more than twelve or fifteen years old. You could even get tax credits. It's also a great idea to perform regular maintenance for your air conditioning system in order to keep it operating at a high level so you won't have to request any repairs for your A/C equipment any sooner than needed.
