8 KEY CONSIDERATIONS
WHEN SELECTING A CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER
When selecting a central air conditioning system for your home, it's essential to consider several key factors to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and comfort. Here are eight key considerations to keep in mind:
Type of system:
There are different types of central air conditioning systems, such as split systems, packaged units, and ductless mini-split systems. Consider the unique needs of your home, the existing infrastructure (e.g., ductwork), and your budget when selecting the appropriate system type.
Size and capacity
Choosing the right size air conditioner for your home is critical for energy efficiency and comfort. A system that's too small won't adequately cool your home, while an oversized system can lead to increased energy consumption and wear and tear. Consult a professional HVAC contractor to determine the appropriate system size based on your home's square footage, insulation, and climate.
Energy efficiency
Look for an air conditioner with a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) rating, which indicates the system's energy efficiency. A higher SEER2 rating means lower energy consumption and reduced cooling costs. Modern systems typically have a SEER2 rating of 13-26. Investing in a high-efficiency system can save you money in the long run by reducing your energy bills.
Brand reputation and reliability
Research different manufacturers and their product lines to find a brand with a strong reputation for producing durable, efficient, and high-quality air conditioning systems. Consider factors such as customer reviews, warranty coverage, and the availability of replacement parts when evaluating brands.
Noise level
Air conditioners can generate varying levels of noise during operation, which can impact your comfort and overall satisfaction with the system. When selecting a central air conditioner, consider the unit's noise level, measured in decibels (dB). Higher-quality systems often have noise-reduction features, such as insulated cabinets, variable-speed compressors, and advanced fan designs that help minimize operational noise.
Indoor air quality
The air conditioning system you choose can have a direct impact on the indoor air quality of your home. Look for systems with features designed to improve air quality, such as advanced filtration systems, UV air purifiers, or compatibility with air purification add-ons. Prioritizing indoor air quality when selecting an air conditioner can help create a healthier and more comfortable living environment for you and your family.
Installation and maintenance
Proper installation is crucial for the efficiency and longevity of your central air conditioning system.

Variable-speed capabilities
Air conditioners with variable-speed compressors and multi-stage cooling can provide more consistent and comfortable cooling throughout your home. These systems can adjust their cooling output according to the demands of your space, resulting in improved energy efficiency, and better temperature control. While variable-speed systems may have a higher upfront cost, the increased efficiency and comfort can make them a worthwhile investment in the long run.
Signs You Need A New AC
Here are 4 signs that indicate you may need a new air conditioning system installed:
Age: If your air conditioner is more than 10 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement. Older systems tend to lose efficiency and may require more frequent repairs.
Frequent breakdowns: If your air conditioner is constantly breaking down and requiring costly repairs, it may be more cost effective to replace the entire system rather than continuing to patch it up.
Rising energy bills: If you have noticed a significant increase in your energy bills, it may be due to your air conditioner's reduced efficiency. Newer systems are more energy efficient, and replacing your old system can lead to long-term cost savings.
Poor air quality: If you have noticed that the air in your home is stale, humid, or dusty, it may be time to replace your air conditioning system. A new system can improve indoor air quality and help you breathe easier.
