What to Look for in a New Air Conditioner
Modern air conditioners offer a wealth of efficient features that you may not have found when you last shopped for a cooling system. The typical air conditioner can last for 15 years or more, so it’s likely been a while since you’ve explored this market. Fortunately, our technicians are engaged in AC equipment installations and maintenance every day. We can recommend the best solution for your individual needs. When you’re shopping for a new air conditioning installation, you should consider:
- The SEER rating, which explains your system efficiency
- The size of the system
- A variable-speed compressor rather than a single- or two-speed system for greater comfort control
When to Install a New AC System
A new AC installation is a major investment, but this isn’t something many homeowners want to go without. It’s best if you can start researching replacement options before your current installation fails. This will give you time to explore your choices, examine your budget, and find the right deal. You may want to start thinking about a new AC system if:
- Your energy bills are steadily increasing, and you want to lower them quickly
- Your air conditioner is over 15 years old and you want to avoid a downtime
- You’re interested in the perks of modern air conditioners
Working with ACR Air Conditioning & Refrigeration for Your AC Replacement Needs
You must work with a NATE-certified technician for any new air conditioner installation. This isn’t a DIY job. A professional installation is required to keep any applicable warranties intact and to ensure that the system is properly placed and calibrated. We work with you through every step of the process to make sure you get an HVAC replacement you’re happy with.
This begins with a home evaluation and Manual J calculation to determine how large your air conditioner should be. A system that’s too big or too small will experience poor energy efficiency and fail to meet your comfort needs. We’re a Trane Comfort Specialist dealer with a wide selection of products that we can recommend to help you find a fit for your budget and goals.
