What is a High Efficency Unit?

AC Breeze Cooling and Heating is here and is making your comfort their priority.  In order to make that happen, sharing lot's of information about air quality is of utmost importanceWhen speaking of high effeciency what does that exactly mean?  When upgrading your air conditioning unit, at what point should you spend more to save or at what point is it spending too much and the recoup of a return just does not make sense.  Lots of questions to ask and you should seek the answers so that you can make an informed buying decision.  The answer is not the same for everyone either.  We all have different priorities and different ideals and what makes sense for me does not make sense for the next person necessarily.  Let's first talk quality.  Quality is something that some may consider as an important buying decision.  The amount of warranty is another.  If a system is a less expensive item then maybe having a longer warranty or purchasing an additional warranty may be an option.  Most systems do not have a set MSRP as there really is no one size fits all.  Each system needs to be fitted for your space.  Just because you had a 3 ton unit in place does not necessarily mean you need to replace with a 3 ton.  Your technician should complete a cooling calculation and make sure that the size of the home and the size of your ducts will match the correct size new unit.  We are finding that most systems are undersized for the sq footage being cooled.  Then the SEER or Seasonal Efficiency Rating is another factor.  13 seer is a high efficency unit and is the minimum unit that can be put in place but should you spend the extra dollars to have a 14 or even a 16, 18 or a 20 SEER unit.  How much will it save you and how long after spending the extra dollars will it take to pay for the extra investment?  If you don't plan on getting regular service on your new unit, it may not make sense to spend a lot on any extras because any unit not cared for properly is just not going to last anyway.  The warranties can easily be voided by lack of care also.

This is a lot to take in but when you make a purchse that brings you comfort and lends to your overall health and wellfare, it's best to make an informed decision.  Make an appointment with us and we will be happy to sit down with you and go over all the options that are available and then compare  what is most important to you and show you several systems that will fit your budget.  Don't try and do it on your own.  Call us at 239-303-1318, email us at tammyjrodriguez@gmail.com or check us out on that web at http://www.acbreeze.net
