If you’re planning to purchase a new air conditioner for your home, it’s important to know what you’re looking for before you start shopping. Serving home and business owners throughout Stonington, CT, the HVAC professionals at Duncklee Cooling & Heating provide a wide range of top-notch services, including custom HVAC system design, installation, repair, and maintenance.

Below, the HVAC experts share a few tips to help you choose the best air conditioner for your home:

• Type of Unit: First, you need to decide whether or not you want a central air conditioning system or a window unit. If you have a few rooms that get hotter than the rest of the house, you may want to purchase a window AC unit to help keep those rooms cool.
• Proper Sizing: If your AC unit is too big or too small, it will be expending more energy than necessary to keep your home cool. To keep costs low, ask an HVAC professional to evaluate your home and offer a recommendation on the best size unit.
• Level of Efficiency: Each air conditioning system should come with an energy efficiency rating to inform you about the amount of electrical energy they require to power the unit. While the high-end models are an investment, the higher the efficiency of your unit, the more money you will save on your monthly utility bills.
• Features: In addition to the efficiency level, you should also decide which features you expect from your new unit. Some systems come with programmable thermostats, which can also help you save money on your energy costs.
