BEFORE YOU BUY
Choosing the Right Central Air Conditioner
When selecting a new central air conditioning unit, it’s crucial to consider various factors to ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and a comfortable living environment. Here are key points to keep in mind:
Correct Size and Capacity
Ensure the unit’s cooling capacity matches the output needed for your home. An improperly sized unit can lead to inefficiency, higher energy bills, and uneven cooling.
Energy Efficiency (SEER Rating)
Look for a unit with a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating. Higher SEER ratings indicate greater energy efficiency and potential cost savings over time.
Ductwork Upgrades
Adjustments and upgrades to ductwork are frequently required to accommodate new high-efficiency equipment. Neglecting this can substantially reduce the equipment’s efficiency, leading to increased noise, higher energy bills, reduced comfort, and a shorter lifespan for your equipment. Be sure to select a contractor who understands the importance of integrating the entire HVAC system to ensure it operates at peak efficiency.
Warranty Coverage
Ensure you are checking the manufacturer’s warranty for coverage on parts, and any limitations or exclusions. Look for equipment that offers extended labour warranty, or matches parts warranty, for ultimate peace of mind.
Installation by Certified Professionals
Ensure you are working with a contractor who holds all valid HVAC certifications required to ensure your system has the most professional installation possible. This is crucial for the air conditioner’s performance, efficiency, and safety. Ensure you receive a commissioning checklist for peace of mind that the air conditioner was installed within the correct specifications.
Different Stages
– Single Stage: A single-stage air conditioning unit operates at full capacity whenever it is running. It has only one mode—on or off—meaning it runs at maximum power regardless of the temperature demand.
– Two-Stage: A two-stage air conditioner has two operating modes: a lower capacity mode for milder days and a higher capacity mode for hotter days. This allows for more precise cooling and better energy efficiency, as it doesn’t always run at maximum capacity.
– Variable Speed/Inverter Technology: Air conditioners with variable speed or inverter technology operate at varying speeds to precisely match the cooling needs of the space. They can adjust their output from low to high depending on the temperature requirements, resulting in consistent comfort and significant energy savings.
