Why Getting a New Air Conditioner Can Decrease Your Cooling Costs

In many locations in of North America, central air conditioning is essential to insure your family’s comfort during the hot summer months. Unfortunately, using your air conditioner is usually the highest expense on your monthly electricity bills. 

The key to decreasing your annual costs could be to get a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. This used to require a sizeable upfront investment. Now, there new solutions available that make buying an up-to-date, high-efficiency air conditioner in your house simpler than ever. 

We’ll give you more information about this solution in a little bit. But one thing is true, a a modern, high-efficiency air conditioner can provide substantial energy savings over its lifetime. Here’s what to think over as you check out air conditioning replacement in the U.S.. 

Why a Higher SEER Rating is Beneficial

Every air conditioner receives a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which grades how efficiently it turns electricity into cooling. Bigger SEER ratings mean a system is more energy efficient. 

As of 2015, your new air conditioning installation is required to be 13 SEER or higher in Canada and the northern United States. If you reside in the South, your new air conditioner is required to be at minimum 14 SEER. 

For comparison, the smallest standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and the most high-end air conditioners offered today rank approximately 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator shows that enhancing your 10 SEER equipment to a mid-range 16 SEER system could save you 38% on your electrical bills each year! 

Why Calculating Your Air Conditioner’s Size is Important

Sizing your air conditioning correctly is also crucial if you desire to lower your monthly electrical expenses. 

Air conditioners are measured in “tons.” Sizing is critical because an air conditioner that’s too large or tiny can’t keep your residence comfy. 

An air conditioner that’s too big will often short cycle, which means it will struggle to remove humidity accurately. One that’s too small will fall behind with demand on muggy days. Both issues will leave your home unpleasant, increase wear and tear on your air conditioner and could increase your utility costs. 

When you call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, our Experts will help you find the right-sized air conditioner for your residence. In addition to maximizing your loved ones’ comfort, a correctly sized air conditioner could lower your electrical bills throughout the season. 

More Ways to Increase Your House’s Efficiency

The final method to ensure monthly savings when you buy a new air conditioner is to enhance your home’s attic insulation. Merely 10% of homes in the U.S. have enough attic insulation, according to study completed by Boston University. Having the right depth of insulation could help keep your heating and cooling costs low and keep your home more comfy regardless of temperatures outside. 

Also, we advise securing any air leaks in your residence before we perform an AC sizing calculation. A less leaky, more insulated home might need a smaller system, saving you on your initial investment and possibly reducing your energy bills for many years.
