During the hot summer months, you rely on your air conditioner to keep your home cool and dehumidified. However, since there are dozens of varieties of air conditioners on the market, it isn’t always easy to select which version you need for your air conditioning installation. Here are three features to keep in mind while you shop.

Best New Air Conditioning Features

1. Adjustable Fan Speeds

If your older air conditioner makes loud noises as it starts up, the reason is probably tied to the one-speed fan motor. Fortunately, many newer air conditioners offer adjustable speed fans, allowing them to start up and shut down gradually. In addition to making less noise, these systems also control interior temperatures more efficiently, since they can operate at partial speeds.

2. Noise-Reduction Construction

Keep the peace in your home by choosing an air conditioner designed with noise-reduction technologies, like an insulated outdoor cabinet or fan blades that don’t chop at the air as much. Additionally, talk with your air conditioning installation experts about where systems should be placed to be as quiet as possible.

3. Remote Connectivity

If you’re concerned about keeping tabs on your air conditioner operation, check to make sure your new system has a remote connectivity option. In addition to monitoring how frequently your AC unit is running, many people use this feature to turn off their air conditioner or adjust temperatures while they’re away to save energy. During your air conditioning installation, check with your HVAC contractor to see how to connect with your system efficiently.
