5 Things to Consider When Choosing a New Air Conditioner
When choosing a new air conditioner for your home there are many things to consider, here are some of the most important items.
1. Operating Efficiency
Check the unit’s ENERGY STAR® rating to see how much energy you can expect to pay during the year. While more efficient systems often cost more initially, over time they are a good investment and will result in lower operating costs.
2. Brand Reliability
A new air conditioner is a major investment, so it’s important to choose a brand that will provide years of reliable operation with the least amount of service related costs. Choose products from a reputable manufacturer with a long history in the industry.
3. Quiet Operation
While air conditioners are becoming quieter, they can still produce noise as high as 80 decibels. Look for features like variable speed operation, which can reduce noise significantly.
4. Humidity Control
To maintain proper humidity levels, choose a thermostat that controls both temperature and humidity. You might also consider a complete comfort system with a dehumidifier.
5. Healthy Indoor Air
If you have pets or someone in your household suffers from allergies or respiratory problems, adding a whole house air cleaner to your furnace or air handler will capture the small contaminants in every room of your home.
