One of the most important things homeowners look for in an air conditioner, aside from keeping them cool, is energy efficiency. Whether you are searching for an air conditioner replacement or looking to get the most out of the efficiency of your existing system, being energy efficient is important. Heating and cooling bills can make up nearly half of your total energy bills, so we want to help you do everything you can to keep you cool and keep your costs down.
If you’re thinking about air conditioner replacement you’ve probably noted that each unit has a SEER rating. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and is a reflection of the efficiency of your air conditioner. The higher the SEER rating, the higher the efficiency, which means the lower the energy expenses. The government requires a minimum SEER rating for all equipment that was manufactured after 2015, that value is based on where you live. Our certified professionals will work with you and look at your home to help you make the best decision when looking into air conditioner replacement.
If you’re looking to get the most efficiency possible out of your present unit, there are a variety of things you can do. First, as we always try to remind people, change your air filters. A dirty filter will cause your air conditioner to operate harder to keep you cool. Keeping it clean will assist with efficiency, keep your air clean and lengthen the life of your unit. We don’t want to sound like a broken record, but it’s a big deal.
Another thing to do is always have annual maintenance. Our certified experts will clean your unit, check electrical connections and note any problems that could be impacting the efficiency of your unit.
Our experts will work to keep you comfortable and save you money. We know what a big investment your air conditioner is and we want to keep it running at its best and help you save money on your heating and cooling bills in the process. Give us a call at 530-885-8081.
