As the weather starts to get warmer and warmer, you may be turning to your AC to help you stay comfortable more and more. If you have an AC that is having a difficult time keeping up with the cooling demands of your home, it may be time to consider replacing it with something new. Choosing a new AC is no small task though. LV Heating & Cooling is here to talk about the right time to replace your AC, and what to look for in your new one.
Best Time to Replace Your AC
There are certainly times where you don’t have a choice in when you replace your AC. However, if you have an older AC and are planning on replacing it with a new one and it isn’t broken, you have more control. If you have a choice, the best time to replace your AC is in the spring or the fall. These times of the year aren’t as busy and warm and the summer. You will get both a better price and will get it installed faster as well.
What You Need to Look for in a New AC
You will want to find an AC that fits perfectly with the cooling demands of your home. Here are some different considerations that you may want to make when selecting the right unit for your home:
– Energy Efficiency: One major consideration is the efficiency of the new unit. You will want to a SEER rating of at least 16 to get efficiency that will continue to benefit you on a long-term basis.
– Size: The size of your unit is another important thing to think about. You need to have a unit that is fitted to your home. If you have one that is too small, it won’t be able to keep up with the cooling demands in your home. One that is too large will waste energy.
– Warranty: Another thing to think about is the brand and the warranty that it offers. Every brand is a little different in what they can offer you as a warranty on the unit. Pick the brand, warranty and price that fits your needs.
– Noise: Not all units will sound the same while they work to cool your home. If you are sensitive to the noise of the AC system in your home, less noise might be important to you.
– Smart Features: New AC systems come with many smart features that can make controlling the climate of your home a cinch. If you are looking for a smart AC, make sure that is something you’re considering.
