In the market for a new AC unit for your Florida home? Choosing the best system can be an intimidating task if not aligned with knowledgeable technicians. When it comes to buying a new air conditioner unit that is right for your Florida home, there are a lot of factors to consider. Taking into account the features of any unit is important, as well as, factoring in your space and even your personal air conditioning habits.
Cost is always at the top of most homeowners list when considering a new AC system. Aside from the actual cost of the unit itself, it is also wise to consider how a new unit will impact your overall energy bill. Most air conditioning systems on the market today provide huge energy saving features that will immediately start saving you money on your electric bill!
If you have been considering purchasing a new AC system for your home, but have not made the leap just yet, here are a few tips to keep in mind when choosing the best AC system for your home:
Size of AC System – Although this is something you and your HVAC technician will decide on together, as a homeowner, it is good to have a general idea of what size unit you would be considering. Remember, bigger isn’t always better. Not choosing the proper size could result in either under or over consumption of energy which will cost you one way or another. To calculate the best size unit for your space, you will have to take into account your home’s square footage, as well as other factors like insulation and your home’s construction. Energy Efficiency – As previously mentioned, the energy efficiency of your AC system is so crucial as it will directly impact your monthly utility bill. For Florida homeowners, it is likely your air conditioning system will be constantly running throughout the entire year. You want to consider an AC unit with a high SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) rating. Central air conditioners have SEER ratings from 10-24. The higher that rating, the less electricity it uses to cool your home, resulting in less money going out monthly. Investing in an energy efficient unit will pay off in the long run both for the environment and your bottom line. Research New AC Technology – The AC industry has made leaps and bounds over the last few years. With technological advances being implemented in the majority of new units on the market, it is important to have a basic understanding of what they are and which features you would want.
