Stay in Control of Your Comfort and Your Energy Expenses

September 13, 2016

One of the most significant things homeowners look for in an air conditioner, aside from keeping them cool, is energy efficiency. Whether you are looking for an air conditioner replacement or looking to get the most out of the efficiency of your current system, being energy efficient is important. Heating and cooling bills can make up nearly half of your total energy expenses, so we want to help you do everything you can to not only keep cool, but keep costs down.

If you’re thinking about air conditioner replacement you’ve probably noticed each unit has a SEER rating. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and is an indication of the efficiency of your air conditioner. The higher the SEER rating, the higher the efficiency, which means the lower the utility costs. The government mandates a minimum SEER rating for all equipment that was manufactured after 2015, that value is based on where you live. Our certified experts will work with you and look at your home to help you make the best decision when thinking about air conditioner replacement.

If you’re looking to get the most efficiency possible out of your present unit, there are a host of things you can do. First, as we always try to remind people, switch out your air filters. A dirty filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder to keep you cool. Keeping it clean will assist with efficiency, keep your air clean and improve the life of your unit. We don’t want to sound like a broken record, but it’s a big deal.

Another thing to do is keep up with routine maintenance. Our certified technicians will clean your unit, check electrical connections and notice any problems that may be affecting the efficiency of your unit.

Our experts will work to keep you comfortable and save you money. We know what a big investment your air conditioner is and we want to keep it working at its best and help you save money on your utility bills in the process. Give us a call at 803-265-4208.
