Benefits of installing a new air conditioning system

Last Updated on March 14, 2022 by Kravelv

When your air conditioner isn’t performing its job in keeping your home cool and comfortable, you’ll want to find the source of the problem and work out a solution. There are several root causes to look for, such as undercharged refrigerant, a leak in the coil, or a short-circuit possibly caused by a nearby lightning strike. Also consider simpler maintenance issues, such as changing a dirty air filter and checking for air leaks. Every little detail contributes to the overall performance and should be looked at.

If your AC unit is over 10 years old and you find the repair will be costly, you may want to consider buying a new, more energy-efficient system. Minimum SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings have risen from 6 to 13 and higher in the past decade, which is a good thing as higher SEER ratings mean better energy efficiency. Increased efficiency equates to less costly electric bills. Consider this: a new AC unit will save you between 20 and 40 percent on energy expenses over the 10-year-old unit you are still debating about repairing.

Take a look at the following infographic from Aqua Plumbing & Air for details on the advantages and benefits of installing a new air conditioning system. The infographic covers useful advice on maintaining your air conditioning system and energy-saving tips. It goes on to elaborate how much money American residents spend and how much energy they use on a mass scale to cool their households with air conditioning.

  1. Great article and good looking site. I live in Australia and we rely on air conditioning systems during our long hot summers a well maintained and up to date air conditioning system is a must. we also have a lot of evaporative cooling systems because we have a hot dry heat and they are much cheaper to run. I agree one of the main thing is to maintain your system and buy a quality energy efficient brand in the beginning.
