Air conditioning technology is improving all the time. In fact, what was considered standard efficiency just a few years ago, is now below the minimum allowed by law. Efficiency is denoted as a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) number and the higher the SEER, the more expensive the unit. Additionally, you have to keep in mind that an air conditioner’s capacity is measured in tons, and a ton of refrigeration is equal to the cooling power of one ton of ice melting over the course of 24 hours. Your Kissimmee air conditioning replacement experts at All Temp can help you decide the capacity you need based on the measurements of your home and its insulation values.
Do Your Homework
Start by asking friends and neighbors who installed their air conditioning replacement system. Be sure to find out the make, model, installer, and size of their units. If those options do not fit into your budget, ask about rebates, energy credits, and if the company you are working with offers financing. In addition, you also need to find out about the filters needed for the new system, what they will cost you, and about the warranty. It is best to purchase your new unit from a local company so that if a problem does arise, you know others in the area will be able to help if the company you purchased your unit from is unable or unavailable to fix it.
Stay on Budget
Another way to stay on budget is to forgo the added bells and whistles. For example, Kissimmee remains warm pretty much year round. Therefore, you may be able to install a unit that is just an air conditioner and may not need the heating component. In addition, remember that bigger doesn’t always mean better. The most economical air conditioner is one that fits your home. If the unit is too big, it will make your system less efficient by causing it to cycle on and off frequently. This will raise your utility bills and cause excess wear and tear on the components of the unit.
