Your Air Conditioner Could Be Wasting Your Money

Your Air Conditioning Could Be Wasting Your Money.

AC units are often one of the first things that people replace when remodeling their home. It’s necessary to determine whether yours is in safe and efficient working order or if it needs to be replaced. But have you ever stopped to think about how to shop for a new system?

When looking for a new Air Conditioning appliance, you will want to find one that fits your home’s needs, which might not be as straightforward as it may seem at first glance. Here’s what to look for when buying an AC and how those choices can affect the health of your home.

Picking the Right Air Conditioner

Often, we may take advantage of how important maintaining our air conditioner unit is. Not only does it keep you cool and comfortable during the hot summer months, but it also helps maintain the structure of your home from rot and mold. Additionally, your central air system use plays a big role in monthly energy bills. Keeping it functioning optimally will be saving money on reduced consumption every hot season.

Here are some tips from our experts at Emergency Maintenance Company about how to choose the best air conditioning equipment for your property:

  • First, you need to consider the size of your home. Different size homes and differently leveled homes require different types of central AC and circulation systems.
  • Next, you need to think about the climate in your area. The hotter the climate, the more powerful a system you will need. Humidity and elevation can also factor in.
  • Finally, you need to consider your budget. We offer a range of options to suit all sizes at budget-friendly rates.

Different styles and features of an AC

There are a few different styles of air conditioners to pick from. Central air is the most common, but there are also window units and portable AC’s. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to pick the one that will work best for your needs.

Central air conditioning units are the most common systems in modern housing and is what you’re most familiar with—it’s one system that controls all rooms at once. The majority of homes built within the last couple of decades include central air, but there are many homes in Eastern Pennsylvania that are older and do not have the built-in central air equipment. EMCO Tech provides services for maintaining and upgrading existing systems and also offers options for installation in older homes.

Window units and portable AC’s are smaller solutions, but in rear cases they can be an option. However, these units are tricky to install, so we always recommend having a professional install these, even if they seem small.

What To Know About Cooling System Appliances

There are a variety of cooling system options available on the market, so it can be difficult to know which one to choose. When selecting air conditioning system, it is important to consider the size of the space that needs to be cooled, the climate in which you live, and your budget.

Another important factor to consider is the expected energy consumption and its effect on your electricity bill. For example, if you live in a hot climate, it is important to choose a cooling system kit that has a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). The EER rating tells you how much cooling power the unit provides per watt of electricity used. The higher the EER rating, the more efficient the unit will be at cooling your home.

If you are unsure about the right choice for your space and needs, you can consult with our professionals at EMCO Tech Heating & Cooling before deciding on new AC unit. Give us a call now to ensure you’re set for the soaring temperatures this summer! Visit our reviews page to gain confidence.

  • Jessie Holloway I love how you talk about the importance of knowing how much energy to expect your HVAC system to consume throughout the seasons. My partner and I think our AC unit is starting to stop working as efficiently. We've been thinking about calling down a professional to fix our system and tell us what to expect from its performance.

My husband and I need to choose an AC for our custom-built home before summer starts, so I wanted to make sure we knew how to pick the right one.
