After you’ve decided to install a new AC system in your home, you will need to start by selecting a good AC unit which is sized properly for your home. This is where our years of experience can be very valuable. We can help you decide how much cooling capacity your home needs. This way, you will not surprised with high energy bills to keep your home comfortable. We can also guide you through the various AC unit options.
The two most common options for AC systems are:
- Central Air Conditioning: This is the most popular type of air conditioning in our community. The central air conditioner, a large outdoor unit will supply cool air to the entire home using ductwork. When shopping for a central AC unit, you will need to consider the entire square footage of your home. This is because the unit will be cooling the entire space at once.
- Ductless Mini-Splits: If you rarely spend time in certain rooms of the house or you are adding an addition, a ductless mini-split air conditioner may be better suited to your home. Ductless systems still have a unit outside the home. The air comes out of individual indoor handlers that can zone cool the house. Each indoor unit has its own thermostat.

The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the unit. To calculate the SEER rating, you can divide the cooling output by the power input. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the unit and the lower your energy bills will be.

Which Is the Right Size of Air Conditioner for My House?
Your system should be the right size for your home. The size of your central air conditioner is measured in tons of refrigeration. One ton is equal to 12,000 BTUs/hour of cooling capacity. A three-ton system, for instance, would have 36,000 BTUs of cooling capacity. Too small a system will not cool your home as you would expect on hot days.
When you have a too large of a system it will cool the air in your home so fast that the humidity is not removed. This leaves you with a sometimes cold, clammy feeling in the home. In bad cases, humidity condensing into water and dripping off of your air registers. Your comfort consultant will perform a heat gain analysis on your home. This will help you decide on the system that will best meet your needs.

How to Choose an Energy-Efficient Air Conditioning System
When shopping for a new air conditioner, you want to consider the unit’s energy efficiency rating. After all, modern air conditioners are much more energy-efficient than older models. Manufacturers have also phased out the use of R-22 refrigerant (also known as Freon). Any new air conditioner is likely to be more green than the one you already have. There still can be a lot of variability in energy efficiency ratings.
Every new air conditioner will also have a SEER rating. This is the seasonal energy efficiency ratio. These numbers range from 13 to 21. You will want to balance the energy efficiency of the unit with your potential cooling costs. For many homeowners, that means selecting a unit in the 14-17 SEER range for their AC installation.
