3 Key Tips for Choosing the Perfect Air Conditioner

1.  Choose a Quality Installer

The first step to buying a quality air conditioning system is to choose a reputable installation company. Ultimately, their measurements and calculations will determine the output and efficiency of your unit. Look for AC contractors with a track record of relevant industry experience and an exceptional reputation. Ask friends or neighbors for recommendations, and read online reviews to identify heating and cooling professionals who perform lasting work at reasonable rates. Also, ask the company for references from satisfied customers, so you can guarantee they have a history of successful installation projects. 

2. Schedule a Load Calculation

Ask your heating and cooling contractor for a load calculation to determine the necessary size and power of your new unit. A technician will visit your home to measure its square footage, examine your insulation, and consider other potential factors before calculating your new system's output requirements.

3. Don't Choose Solely Based on Price

Once you know the size of the unit you need, don't choose an air conditioner based on the price alone. Consider efficiency and long-term operating costs, and give them considerable weight in your decision. A cheap unit may cost you more money in utility bills and waste energy in the long run.
