What Should Homeowners Check Before a New AC Install?

Before installing a new AC, consider several factors that might influence your decision.

Think About the System You Want

Air conditioners come in many shapes and sizes, so it’s essential to consider what you want from your new AC. Traditional AC systems require ductwork and can only cool your home. Ductless systems are smaller and don’t require ductwork, while heat pumps provide an all-in-one solution for heating and cooling. Modern air conditioners can also help with humidity and indoor air quality in your home if you’re concerned about those things. Of course, there are handy features to consider, such as timers, remote controls, and ventilation options.

Consider the Size

The size of your AC unit will dictate where it can be installed and how effective the new system will be at cooling your home. If the system is too small, it won’t effectively circulate air through your home the way you want. If the unit is too big, you’ll pay more upfront for a unit you don’t need. The area where your AC is installed is also important for functionality, so you want to ensure the correct size unit is installed exactly where it should be for maximum performance.

Energy Consumption

Considering that environmentally sustainable AC systems are better for the environment and your wallet, more energy-efficient units require less power to work effectively, lowering utility bills. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a system that rates an AC’s energy efficiency. The higher this rating is, the better the energy efficiency.

Choose a Trustworthy Technician

If your AC unit is not installed correctly, this can mean many issues down the road. Proper installation by a professional technician can influence how efficiently your new AC unit runs, how often it needs repairs, and its overall performance. The licensed and certified Iceberg Heating & Cooling technicians offer reliable AC installation and replacement services.

When in Doubt, Call a Professional

If you’re unsure or have questions about a new AC installation, call a professional. HVAC experts have the training and certifications to back up their expertise.
