Ready for a New Air Conditioner? Here's What You Should Know
Choosing the right air conditioner can feel complex, but it doesn't have to be. We make it simple with product recommendations tailored to your cooling needs and budget. Before investing in a new unit, consider the following:
Proper Sizing
Air conditioner cooling capacity is measured in tons — 1 ton equals 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. We use a sizing calculation to determine the ideal capacity needed to cool your home.
Various factors influence this calculation, including:
- Home: Your property's layout, size in square footage and ceiling height determine cooling capacity.
- Insulation: Well-insulated homes retain cool air better, making smaller units ideal.
- Zoning: The right AC size depends on whether you want to cool your whole home or specific zones. Instead of calculating based on your home's total square footage, we focus on targeted areas.
- Environment: Rooms that get a lot of sunlight need a higher-capacity air conditioner.
- Ductwork: Whether or not your home has existing ductwork determines the best type of air conditioner. Central air conditioning units and geothermal heat pumps distribute cooled air through ducts. Efficient ductless mini-split systems provide cooling without relying on ductwork.
Energy Efficiency Ratings
An air conditioning unit's Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2) indicates its cooling efficiency. The calculation measures the total heat removed from a conditioned space in a typical cooling season. A higher SEER2 value means a more energy-efficient AC. We install modern SEER2 units that save you money on your utility bills.
Cooling Stages
Staging is how your air conditioner adjusts its cooling output to your home's conditions. Sweltering summer days require more cooling than mild spring mornings.
We help you choose from these cooling stages:
- Single-stage: The AC runs until it reaches 100% capacity, then switches off. This cooling stage type is the least efficient.
- Two-stage: At the low stage, the unit operates at around 60% to 70% capacity to maintain an even temperature. It kicks into the high stage during extreme heat, operating at 100% capacity.
- Variable-speed: These systems are the most energy-efficient. They adjust their cooling capacity in increments to meet demand.
