What is the size of your current A/C System? Find out moreBasically all manufacturers encode the size or tonnage of their systems into the model number. Tonnage is a measure of BTU’s in 12,000 BTU increments. For example a 1 ton system would have 12,000 BTU’s. A 2.5 ton system would have 30,000 BTU’s. These are reflected in the model numbers near the middle and often followed by a letter. Getting the right size AC unit for your house is very important if you want to have the desired level of comfort and good energy efficiency. The smallest central air conditioning unit is 18,000 BTUs (1.5 tons), while the largest is 60,000 BTUs (5 tons).

What size A/C would you like a price for? Find out moreNot Too Big, Not Too Small. When an air conditioner cools a room too quickly, it will cycle on and off more frequently. This can put much more wear and tear on a system compared to one that is appropriately sized, which means you’ll spend more on maintenance and repairs. And whenever the unit is running, you’re likely consuming more energy than necessary to keep the room cool. A unit that is too small, on the other hand, will run around-the-clock, driving up your energy bill. It may never reach your desired temperature, and can even fail to keep spaces comfortable during the hottest times of the year.

What type of compressor would you like on your new A/C? Find out moreSingle-Stage ac compressor only works one level of operation, cooling your home at full blast. Two-Stage ac compressor works at two levels of operations. High for hot summer days. Low for milder days when you don’t need as much cooling. Variable Speed ac compressor can operate at any capacity, making minute adjustments to the speed which will maximize your energy efficiency. Which one should I get? It depends on your budget. What can you afford right now? If your budget is tight, then a single-stage makes more sense because it costs less. But financing can help you get the two-stage or variable speed ac, if you want the greater comfort.

What A/C efficiency SEER rating would you like for your new A/C? Find out moreEnergy Efficiency Considerations Select a central air conditioner with as high a SEER as is practical within your budget. The annual cooling efficiency of a central air conditioner is affected by the manufacturer's choice of features and components. The SEER of central air conditioners ranges from a minimum of 14.0 to a maximum of about 21.0. The ideal solution to reduce electric costs related to air conditioning is to install a higher efficiency central air system (16 SEER or higher). However, high SEER central AC systems are expensive, and are typically the more advanced Central Heat Pump type (18 SEER+ systems).
