Why Replacing Your Air Conditioner Can Reduce Your Cooling Expenses

In many parts of North America, central air conditioning is critical to guarantee your family’s comfort during the sweltering summer months. Unfortunately, cooling is typically the biggest expense on your monthly utility bills. 

The key to reducing your ongoing charges may be to install a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. This previously required a sizeable upfront investment. Today, there new alternatives available that make buying a new, high-efficiency air conditioner in your residence faster than ever. 

We’ll explain more about this solution in just a bit. But one thing is right, a an up-to-date, high-efficiency air conditioner can give substantial energy savings over its lifetime. Here’s what to think over as you research air conditioning replacement in the U.S.. 

Why a Bigger SEER Rating is Worthwhile

Every air conditioner gets a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which tests how efficiently it uses electricity for cooling. Greater SEER ratings mean an air conditioner is more energy efficient. 

As of 2015, your new air conditioning installation should be 13 SEER or greater in Canada and the northern United States. If you are the South, your new air conditioner is required to be at a baseline of 14 SEER. 

For contrast, the lowest standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and premium air conditioners offered today reach around 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator demonstrates that enhancing your 10 SEER air conditioner to a mid-priced 16 SEER air conditioner could save you 38% on your utility expenses annually! 

Why Figuring Out Your Air Conditioner’s Size is Critical

Sizing your air conditioning properly is also crucial if you want to lower your monthly air conditioning costs. 

Air conditioners are calculated in “tons.” Sizing is crucial because an air conditioner that’s too large or little can’t keep your loved ones comfy. 

An air conditioner that’s too massive will often short cycle, which means it will have a hard time removing humidity properly. One that’s too little won’t be able to keep up with demand on hot days. Both troubles will lead to your home being uncomfortable, increase wear and tear on your air conditioner and could increase your electrical costs. 

When you call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, our Experts will match you with the correctly sized air conditioner for your family. As well as increasing your family’s comfort, a right-sized air conditioner may lower your energy expenses each month. 

More Methods to Increase Your Home’s Efficiency

The final approach to confirm monthly savings when you install a new air conditioner is to enhance your house’s attic insulation. Merely 10% of residences in the U.S. have proper attic insulation, according to study completed by Boston University. Having the proper amount of insulation may help keep your heating and cooling costs down and keep your residence more comfy no matter the weather. 

In addition, we suggest securing any air leaks in your residence before we do an AC sizing calculation. A tighter, more insulated residence may need a smaller air conditioner, saving you on your initial investment and possibly decreasing your energy bills for many years.
