One of the most important things homeowners look for in an air conditioner, next to keeping them cool, is energy efficiency. Whether you are in the market for an air conditioner replacement or looking to get the most out of the efficiency of your existing system, being energy efficient is important. Heating and cooling costs can make up almost half of your total energy bills, so we want to help you do everything you can to not only keep cool, but keep costs down.
If you’re looking into air conditioner replacement you’ve probably noticed each unit has a SEER rating. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and is an indication of the efficiency of your air conditioner. The higher the SEER rating, the higher the efficiency, which means the lower the energy expenses. The government orders a minimum SEER rating for all equipment that was produced after 2015, that number is based on where you live. Our certified professionals will work with you and look at your home to help you make the best decision when thinking about air conditioner replacement.
If you’re hoping to get the most efficiency possible out of your existing unit, there are a host of things you can do. First, as we always try to remind people, change your air filters. A dirty filter will cause your air conditioner to run harder to keep you cool. Keeping it clean will assist with efficiency, keep your air clean and lengthen the life of your unit. We don’t want to sound like a broken record, but it’s essential.
Another thing to do is stay on top of annual maintenance. Our certified professionals will clean your unit, check electrical connections and note any problems that could be affecting the efficiency of your unit.
