Summer may have only just officially begun, but we’ve been feeling the heat for quite a while already. With that in mind, we hope that you haven’t encountered any detrimental issues with your air conditioning system. If you have, however, and you are thinking that it might be time to replace your AC system, then you have some things to consider.
First and foremost, is your current system the best type of air conditioner for your home and your needs? Also, should you go with a different brand, or model? Don’t forget about the efficiency rating either; some types of systems are much more efficient than others. Below, we’ve shared 3 other “must-haves” when you are considering a new air conditioner for your home.
Correct Size
When an air conditioning system is too small for a living space, it cannot sufficiently cool it down. However, if it’s too big then it will start to short-cycle, or turn on and off rapidly. This can quickly wear down the AC system.
Sizing an air conditioning system takes a lot more than simply knowing the square footage of the space it’s going in. Your HVAC technician needs to also look at your ceiling height, how many windows and doors are in your home, if you have any drafty areas in the home, and more.
Noise Level
All air conditioners make noise. There is no escaping this fact, however some do make a lot less noise than others. You’ll want to consider your comfort of course, but also whether or not you or other members of your household are sensitive sleepers.
Professional Installation
Professional air conditioner installation is a requirement, if you want a truly effective and efficient system. An amateur or DIY-enthusiast is not going to know the intricate details of what makes a particular air conditioner right for a particular home. You need a licensed and trained HVAC professional to accurately size your system and also know what to check for to ensure you get the most out of the system.
