With summer heat on the way, now is the perfect time to think about upgrading your air conditioning system. Whether your current unit is outdated or struggling to keep up, installing a new AC can improve your comfort, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. But before you make the leap, here are some key things to consider.
1. Assess Your Home’s Cooling Needs
Every home is different, so it’s important to choose a system tailored to your unique needs. Think about your home’s square footage, how many people live there, and how hot it gets during the summer months. These factors will help determine the best type and capacity of air conditioner for your space.
2. Get the Right Size System
An air conditioner that’s too small will run constantly and struggle to keep your home cool, while one that’s too large can short-cycle and waste energy. That’s why it’s essential to have a professional perform a load calculation to find the perfect fit. At Wally Falke’s Heating & Air Conditioning, our team uses industry-standard methods to ensure your new system is just the right size.
3. Prioritize Energy Efficiency
Upgrading your air conditioner is also an opportunity to lower your energy bills. Look for systems with high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings — the higher the SEER, the more efficient the system. Features like programmable thermostats, inverter-driven compressors, and variable-speed motors can also help you save energy without sacrificing comfort.
4. Consider Advanced Features
Today’s air conditioners offer more than just cooling. Many models come with smart technology, zoning options, humidity control, and built-in air purification. These features can boost your indoor air quality, give you more control over your comfort, and even help protect your health.
5. Work With a Trusted HVAC Contractor
