Helpful Hints
Hot weather got you thinking of buying a new air conditioner? Is your current air conditioner not cutting it anymore? Here are 6 tips how to tell:
1. "If your air conditioner is more than ten years old, it likely working ineffectively and inefficiently, and should be replaced with a more energy-efficient model."
2. Older air conditioners typically mean higher energy bills.
3. If some of the rooms in your home are either too hot or too cold, it could be your air conditioning equipment manufacturing or functioning inefficiently.
4. If there is a lot of noise coming from your air conditioning unit, there maybe a problem with its indoor coil, or your duct system may be to small.
5. The most important factor when purchasing a central air conditioning system is that it’s the appropriate size! Bigger is not necessarily better. If your system is too big, it won’t be as effective at dehumidifying, which will make your home feel hotter.
6. An air conditioning system that is too small won’t be able to cool your house adequately. It may even freeze over even on the warmest days.
