C replacement can be a difficult and intimidating decision. No matter how comfortable you are with your current AC system, the AC replacement process can be very overwhelming. At The American HVAC A/C & Heating Services, we provide a great checklist to help with your AC replacement decision making.
SEER Rating
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is the measurement of the efficiency of your HVAC system. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system. Here are the factors that affect your SEER rating:
- Humidity: Higher SEER rated systems are recommended for higher humidity areas
- Cost: The higher the SEER rating, the more expensive it will cost for your AC replacement
- Local Climate: HVAC systems should be designed based on the local weather conditions
Energy Star Rated HVAC Systems
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set strict energy efficiency standards for HVAC systems. Energy Star Rated HVAC systems meet the guidelines of the EPA and are more energy efficient.
Size of Your AC Replacement
Choosing the right-sized HVAC system is important. Air conditioning systems are measured in tonnage. Tonnage measures the amount of heat the unit can remove from a house in one hour. One ton can remove 12,000 BTUs of heat. The tonnage required depends on how much heat is in your home naturally, the amount that enters through your windows and attic, how well your home is insulated, the direction the windows face, and the number of windows. Our factory-trained AC replacement technicians can calculate the load and design an HVAC system to meet your home’s needs.
