Spring has settled in, and the temperatures are slowly starting to rise. The time to check you central air system is now, before the heat descends. Looking to replace your current system or buy your first air conditioning unit? Wilson HVAC Systems of Becker, MN, has been providing heating and cooling services to residents for over 21 years, and they created a practical guide to choosing between the various central air systems on the market today.

A Guide to Choosing the Right Central Air Unit for Your Needs 

How Much Noise Is Too Much?

While today’s AC units are worlds apart from those of past years, the level of noise you’ll experience will still vary from unit to unit. With many options, even the lowest setting can disrupt a light sleeper. So, the first consideration when choosing a central air unit for your home is: How much noise is too much? Homeowners looking for the quietest air conditioner possible should look at Infinity® brand models. These have consistently ranked as the quietest option on the market.

Where Are You Installing the Unit?

Your central air unit will blow the cool air straight ahead in the direction the vents are placed in. For those with window-mounted units, this can present a problem if the room’s windows are off center. The key to a properly cooled room is making sure the air blows directly into the center of it. To ensure the entire space is sufficiently cooled, check the units and make sure they’ll blow air in both directions.

How Tech Savvy Are You?

The last consideration to factor into your decision is how tech savvy you are. For those who are up to date on the latest technology and have seamlessly integrated smart devices into their daily lives, a unit that allows you to control the temperature settings from your smartphone is perfect. For those who are less technologically inclined, this will likely cause more stress than it will relieve.
