The first thing you should consider is, of course, do you really need to get a brand new HVAC system. If your current A/C system frequently needs repairs, experiences declining performance, or if your utility bills are increasing, you probably need a change.

You could try fixing your current A/C system by replacing or improving certain parts, but quick fixes are likely to cost you more in the long run. By replacing small parts and patching up your current, older unit, you are merely prolonging the inevitable. Calling customer support to assist you every time an old HVAC unit acts up will cost you dearly and cause unneeded headaches. Newer A/C systems are designed to last longer than older models and come with warranties that guarantee hassle-free operation for a long period of time. A quick fix is rarely a permanent solution.

Size of Unit

With the increasing cost of electricity, there is need to get efficient AC that will not make you turn your new unit into an aesthetics in few months.

We always recommend hiring a certified HVAC professional to recommend the ideal A/C system for you and your home. By taking measurements of your home’s interior and inspecting your attic’s insulation, an expert will be able to suggest a perfect solution for your needs. You can explain exactly what you are looking for and what kind of cooling and heating system aligns with your budget. Things you should know:

When an HVAC contractor comes to your house, the contractor should not simply guess which A/C system is ideal for your home. Instead, insist on a full evaluation of your property, including ducts, window fixtures, and insulation. This will help in determining how best to help you save money.

Select an efficient system

• New A/C systems must be more energy efficient that older models and must obtain a minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 13. While much more efficient than previous A/C units, systems with a score is 13 just meet the minimum efficiency required, and other units offer higher efficiency for only a slightly higher price. We recommend finding an A/C unit that meets Energy Star standards. Although they are more expensive, the increased performance will save you money on your utility bills for the next 20 years and won’t require frequent repairs.

• Before you start thinking about the price and the features of your new unit, you should determine the size of the A/C system you need for your home. You should also consider where you would like to install your units. Your HVAC contractor should help you with this aspect by suggesting the best systems for your budget.

• Pollutant Destruction Some air cleaners use ultraviolet (UV) light technology intended to destroy pollutants in indoor air. These air cleaners are called ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) cleaners and photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) cleaners. Ozone generators that are sold as air cleaners intentionally produce ozone gas, a lung irritant, to destroy pollutants.

The newest HVAC technology

The latest HVAC systems offer higher efficiency and on-board diagnostics designed to determine any heating and cooling inefficiencies. Regulations are currently being upgraded in order to provide safer refrigerants.

Things you should know:

There are many innovative air cleaners that work alongside your A/C unit to make your indoor air quality significantly better. Ask your HVAC professional is a humidifier or electrostatic air filter is right for your home.

The newest systems contain advanced options that allow you to control your home’s temperature right from your smartphone, even when you’re away. You will never have to wonder whether you left your A/C on when you are out of town. You can also program the time you expect to come home and have the A/C unit turn on early enough so that your home is at the appropriate temperature by the time you arrive.

If you have a home with little or no ductwork, you can still install a central air conditioning system by using a ductless mini-split system. These high efficiency systems offer the ability to cover only the critical parts of your home.

With the inverter designs out, ask your HVAC company about the benefits of an inverter system. Inverter helps reduce your electricity bill used to run your unit for a longer period of time.
