Why Getting a New Air Conditioner Can Decrease Your Cooling Costs

In many locations in of North America, central air conditioning is critical to insure home comfort during the humid summer months. Unfortunately, air conditioning may be the biggest expense on your monthly electricity bills. 

The solution to decreasing your long-term charges might be to install a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. This used to require a big upfront investment. Today, there new alternatives available that make purchasing a modern, high-efficiency air conditioner in your home simpler than ever. 

We’ll give you more information about this option in a moment. But one thing is certain, a a modern, high-efficiency air conditioner can provide considerable energy savings over its lifetime. Here’s what to think about as you check out air conditioning replacement in Edmonton. 

Why a Higher SEER Rating is Worth It

Every air conditioner earns a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which tests how efficiently it uses electricity for cooling. Greater SEER ratings mean a system is more energy efficient. 

As of 2015, your new air conditioning installation should be 13 SEER or higher in Canada and the northern United Provinces. If you are the South, your new air conditioner is required to be at least 14 SEER. 

For contrast, the minimum standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and the most high-end air conditioners offered today reach near 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator indicates that upgrading your 10 SEER equipment to a mid-grade 16 SEER air conditioner could save you 38% on your electrical bills per year! 

Why Calculating Your Air Conditioner’s Size is Important

Sizing your air conditioning correctly is also crucial if you desire to decrease your monthly electrical bills. 

Air conditioners are calculated in “tons.” Sizing is crucial because an air conditioner that’s too massive or little can’t keep your home comfy. 

An air conditioner that’s too large will frequently short cycle, which means it will struggle to remove humidity accurately. One that’s too tiny will lag behind demand on warm days. Both problems will lead to your home being uncomfortable, increase hard wear on your air conditioner and may increase your electrical bill.

More Approaches to Enhance Your Residence’s Efficiency

The final approach to ensure monthly savings when you replace your air conditioner is to boost your residence’s attic insulation. Just 10% of homes in the U.S. have proper attic insulation, according to study conducted by Boston University. Having the proper depth of insulation may help keep your energy costs lower and keep your home more pleasant no matter the weather. 

Also, we recommend closing any air leaks in your residence before we carry out an AC sizing calculation. A less leaky, more insulated residence could use a smaller model, saving you on your starting investment and potentially lowering your electrical expenses in the future.
