Why Getting a New Air Conditioner Can Lower Your Utility Costs

In many locations in of North America, central air conditioning is crucial to guarantee your comfort during the humid 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 sizeable upfront investment. At this point in time, there new solutions available that make getting a modern, high-efficiency air conditioner in your house 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 consider as you explore air conditioning replacement in Saint Charles. 

Why a Greater SEER Rating is Worth It

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

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

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

Why Determining Your Air Conditioner’s Size is Important

Sizing your cooling system properly is also essential if you desire to lower your monthly air conditioning bills. 

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

An air conditioner that’s too large 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 use of on your air conditioner and may drive up your electrical costs.

Other Methods to Enhance Your Home’s Efficiency

The final method to verify monthly savings when you get a new air conditioner is to boost your residence’s attic insulation. Only about 10% of houses in the U.S. have proper attic insulation, according to study performed by Boston University. Having the proper level of insulation might help keep your heating and cooling costs low and keep your house more pleasant year-round. 

Also, we suggest closing any air leaks in your house before we carry out an AC sizing calculation. A less leaky, more insulated house might need a smaller model, saving you on your initial investment and likely lowering your cooling costs in the future.
