Need a New Air Conditioner?
Expert HVAC Services from Customer Comfort Heating & Cooling Inc.
If your air conditioner is struggling to keep up with the heat, it might be time to upgrade to a more energy-efficient model. Replacing your old AC can lower your energy bills, improve indoor air quality, and ensure your home stays cool and comfortable all summer long. Here’s what you need to know when considering a new air conditioning system.
Signs that it's Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner
Your AC Is Over 15–20 Years Old
If your system is over a decade old, it’s likely using outdated technology. Newer models are more energy-efficient, saving you money on utility bills.
Frequent and Costly Repairs
Are you spending more time and money on repairs than cooling your home? Constant breakdowns are a sign your AC is nearing the end of its life.
Inconsistent Cooling
Uneven temperatures, with some rooms feeling too hot and others too cold, suggest your AC is struggling to distribute cool air evenly.
High Energy Bills
Rising electricity bills can indicate that your AC is working harder than it should. An energy-efficient replacement could lower your cooling costs by up to 40%.
Strange Noises or Odors
Banging, squealing, or strange smells from your AC are indicators of significant internal issues, often signaling the need for a replacement.
Choosing the Right Air Conditioner
Size of the AC Unit
The size of your new air conditioner must match your home’s cooling needs. An undersized unit won’t cool your home efficiently, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy. We will perform a load calculation (Manual J) to determine the correct size based on the square footage, insulation, and climate.
SEER Rating
Higher SEER ratings (14-21) indicate greater energy efficiency. Although units with a higher SEER rating cost more upfront, the long-term savings on energy bills can make the investment worthwhile. Look for a SEER rating of 16 or higher for optimal efficiency.
Single-Stage vs. Two-Stage vs. Variable-Speed
- Single-Stage units operate at full capacity or not at all, which can result in uneven cooling.
- Two-Stage units can run at two speeds—high and low—providing better temperature control and efficiency.
- Variable-Speed units adjust continuously, delivering precise cooling and energy savings.
Smart Thermostat Compatibility
Investing in a smart thermostat allows you to control your AC remotely, schedule cooling cycles, and monitor energy usage, enhancing comfort and saving energy.
Warranty and Lifespan
Choose a unit with a comprehensive warranty to protect your investment. Most new AC units come with a warranty that covers parts for 10–15 years, offering peace of mind and reduced repair costs. If you want to know more, ask away!
