The general SEER (season energy efficiency ratio) for an ac unit that is 10-12 years old is a 7, but it should be at least the new required minimum of 13. Chances are, if your unit is 10 years or older, it needs to be replaced. There are many ways to tell if your air conditioning unit isn’t functioning as efficiently as it could. Take our advice, and make sure to get it looked at before the Florida’s summer weather comes around in full swing!
Besides the age of your unit, if temperature inconsistencies are a common problem in your household, it may be time get your ac unit checked out. Temperature inconsistencies are typically easy to diagnose because one room will be freezing, while the other is unbearably warm. Although our name is All Temp, we know that varying temperatures throughout your home are not very comfortable, especially during the summer when all you want to do it to cool down inside. The temperature should not be different in each and every room (unless you prefer it that way).
Setting aside the age and inconsistencies, just replacing your ac unit can save you time and money. New ac units can have an average SEER of 23, which would cut your cooling costs in half over the life of your air conditioner. In addition, a new ac unit with improved energy efficiency would save you money on your electric bills, improve overall air quality, and reduce your carbon footprint on the environment. Replacing your ac unit might not seem cost effective, but the long term effects will certainly outnumber the short term costs.
All Temp Air Conditioning offers replacement units along with ac repair. Before the hot, humid, and sticky days roll around, now is the time to get your unit inspected.
