Why Getting a New Air Conditioner Can Lower Your Energy Costs

In many locations in of North America, central air conditioning is essential to insure your comfort during the hot summer months. Unfortunately, cooling is usually the highest expense on your monthly energy bills. 

The solution to reducing your long-term expenses may be to get a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. In the past, this required a big upfront investment. At this point in time, there new solutions available that make getting a modern, high-efficiency air conditioner in your home simpler than ever. 

We’ll give you more details about this possibility in just a bit. But one thing is true, a an up-to-date, high-efficiency air conditioner can provide sizeable energy savings during its lifetime. Here’s what to think over as you research air conditioning replacement in Clearwater. 

Why a Bigger SEER Rating is Beneficial

Every air conditioner gets a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which grades how efficiently it turns electricity into cooling. Bigger SEER ratings mean an air conditioner is more energy efficient. 

As of 2015, your new air conditioning installation is required to be 13 SEER or greater in Canada and the northern United States. If you reside in the South, your new air conditioner has to be at minimum 14 SEER. 

To compare, the lowest standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and premium air conditioners for sale today are around 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator indicates that enhancing your 10 SEER equipment to a mid-range 16 SEER system could save you 38% on your electrical costs annually! 

Why Calculating Your Air Conditioner’s Size Matters

Sizing your air conditioning properly is also essential if you want to lower your monthly air conditioning expenses. 

Air conditioners are calculated in “tons.” Sizing is crucial because an air conditioner that’s too big or little can’t keep your house comfy. 

An air conditioner that’s too big will frequently short cycle, which means it will struggle to remove humidity correctly. One that’s too little will fall behind with demand on warm days. Both issues will you’re your home unpleasant, increase wear and tear on your air conditioner and may drive up your energy costs.

Additional Approaches to Enhance Your Home’s Efficiency

The final method to verify monthly savings when you get a new air conditioner is to increase your house’s attic insulation. Just 10% of houses in the U.S. have proper attic insulation, according to study performed by Boston University. Having the correct depth of insulation might help keep your heating and cooling costs low and keep your home more comfy all year. 

Also, we suggest sealing any air leaks in your home before we do an AC sizing calculation. A less leaky, more insulated home could need a smaller air conditioner, saving you on your upfront investment and likely lowering your electric costs in the future.
