Now Is the Time to Buy a New Air Conditioner!

The calendar says it’s officially spring. That means we don’t have to worry about nasty winter winds again for quite a while. What we do need to be concerned about, though, are the dog days of summer that are fast approaching. Sooner rather than later, you could be sweating sitting inside of your own home! The only way to ensure that doesn’t happen is to call us for air conditioning installation in central Kansas. But buying a new air conditioner shouldn’t be a snap decision. Here’s everything you need to know about buying a new AC.

What to look for in an AC

There are plenty of helpful resources online that can point you in the right direction when it comes to buying a new AC. However, wouldn’t you rather hear from the pros? Here’s what we recommend you look for in your new air conditioner:

• Unit size: A larger unit will obviously be able to keep your home or office cooler. But before you go out and buy the largest unit on the market, consider how much energy you could waste. If your unit is too big, it’ll continuously cycle on and off, running up your electric bill. Bigger ACs also cost more and are more expensive to repair if they break down. Luckily for you, we can run tests to determine the right size unit for your home or office.
• Energy efficiency: Everyone wants to save money each month on their electric bill. Buying an energy efficient AC is an easy way you can do that without sacrificing comfort. Look for an air conditioner’s seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) rating. This number tells you how efficient the unit is. Units must have a SEER rating of 13 to be sold here in the U.S., and units rated 14 and above are considered energy efficient.
• Unit price: Budget is always a concern when making a big purchase. After all, you don’t want to break the bank on a new AC! At the same time, you don’t want to skimp out and purchase a shoddy unit. The energy efficient units mentioned above will cost a bit more up front, but your monthly savings on your energy bill will make up for that over the long term. Give us a call today to discuss which unit is best for you and your wallet.

Now that you’ve purchased your unit, you’ve got to figure out how to get it hooked up to your home. Though you could install the unit yourself, we strongly advise against it.
