Sizing the new system is a critical aspect of any AC replacement. If an AC is oversized or undersized, it will end up costing you much more in the end. That’s due to reduced energy efficiency and greater wear and tear on the equipment. Hiring a professional installer is important because your installer will perform a load calculation to size your AC accurately. Typical ACs for homes range from 1.5 to 5 tons or between 18,000 and 60,000 BTUs.
Another important consideration is the seasonal energy efficiency ratio. The industry uses the SEER2 rating to measure the cooling efficiency of a central AC over a full summer. The higher the rating, the more efficient the unit is. The current DOE minimum in the southern U.S. is 14.3. There are units available with SEER2 ratings in the upper teens and 20s. These units will cost more but can be worth it due to the lower long-term operating costs. Energy incentives can help recoup that added investment even sooner.
New AC installation is a big investment, and HVAC warranties are an important form of consumer protection. Warranties can vary greatly from one brand to another and even from model to model. Take time to explore the available warranties and extended warranties with your installer, as we can walk you through everything. Consider maintenance requirements. Some high-efficiency ACs, for instance, need additional maintenance. Look into warranty maintenance requirements too. Most, if not all, AC warranties require seasonal maintenance to remain valid. Think about upgrading your thermostat as well. The latest models offer many energy-saving features that can even lower your costs.
There are many reasons to consider a modern AC replacement:
- Quiet operation
- Lower cooling costs
- Rebates and tax credits
- Smaller carbon footprint
- Faster and more even cooling
