There are tens of air conditioner brands on the market today, not to mention the hundreds of air conditioner models, that’s why choosing the right one for your home can get quite overwhelming. But getting a new AC is a serious investment, and for that reason, you should be careful in the selection process.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your leading HVAC company in Andover MN. We are an authorized dealer of Lennox air conditioners, some of the best in the industry.
Here are a couple of things to consider when choosing an air conditioner for your home.
Energy Efficiency
The government requires a minimum SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) rating of 13.00 for all newly installed air conditioners. These systems are much more efficient than the old one you likely have.
Your Home’s Building Materials
A thorough investigation of your home’s design before cashing in on a new AC is needed to determine your home’s cooling demands. Older brick homes are more likely to absorb heat and maintain hot air than modern homes with unique chemical compounds in the walls and paint designed to reflect heat. Therefore, look for an HVAC company that offers complimentary home inspections that take different factors into account.
Installation Quality
Working with the right company is as important as choosing the right AC. To make sure you are working with the right company, look for someone who has the North American Technician Excellence (NATE) accreditation. NATE-certified technicians undergo strict training and education. They are AC experts who have the knowledge and skills needed to perform a proper AC installation. Working with such professionals ensures your brand-new AC will work at its best.
