Air Conditioning Installation

When Should You Install a New Air Conditioner?

Lukewarm Air Coming From Your Vents

If your home’s air is not properly cooling your home, your AC might need to be replaced with a newer model. This will restore cool temperatures and keep your family comfortable all summer long.

Short Cycling

A typical air conditioner cycle will last for 10-15 minutes before shutting off and kicking back on a few minutes later. When cycles only last a few minutes and your system turns back on immediately after the last cycle ended, your system is short cycling. This prevents your home from experiencing cool temperatures and can also significantly increase your energy bill.

Rising Energy Bills

Rising energy bills indicate AC inefficiency, meaning your system will run longer cycles to cool your home. Replacing the air conditioner with a newer and more efficient model is the best way to lower energy bills and improve comfort.

The System is Over 15 Years Old

Air conditioners typically last for 15-20 years before they need to be replaced. If your system is experiencing issues and it’s close to 15 years old, replacing the unit can prevent more serious and expensive problems that would likely occur down the road.

What to Consider When Buying a New Air Conditioner

With so many air conditioner makes and models available to customers within the Salt Lake City area, it can be difficult to determine which is best for your home. Consult with a professional, and consider the following factors before making a purchase:

 

• Energy Ratings: SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) indicates how efficient an air conditioner is. The higher the rating, the greater the system’s efficiency. This number indicates the cooling output of a system over a typical cooling season divided by the energy input during the same period.

• Size of Your Home: Air conditioners are uniquely designed to cool different size homes. An air conditioner that is too small will prevent your home from efficiently achieving cool temperatures, while an AC that is too big will likely short cycle and not effectively dehumidify your home’s air.

• System Cost: The cost of the system should make sense with your budget. Make sure to find an air conditioner that you are comfortable paying for.

• Noise levels: Some air conditioners produce more noise than others. If the system will be installed near an area of your home that is often crowded with family or friends, make sure to install an air conditioner that is designed to operate quietly.
