Buying a new air conditioning system is an important decision because of its effect on your home. A good air conditioning unit that has been correctly installed can make your home a comfortable place to be no matter what the weather is like. This is because of the numerous benefits that an AC system can bring besides cooling your home’s interior like reducing humidity and removing toxins. The importance of your air conditioning system means that you’ll have to deliberate and carefully go over all of your AC options. When buying a new air conditioning system, here are five things to consider.

The Size of the AC System

The right air conditioning unit for you is one that is perfectly sized and compatible with your home’s layout. An AC system that is too small for your home won’t be able to cool it correctly. Meanwhile a unit that is too large will be inefficient with its energy usage and cause your bills to skyrocket. It would be wise to call in some professional help who can give some advice so that you can make the right choice for your home.

The Time of the Year

Unless pricing is of no concern to you, the time of the year in which you buy your air conditioning system will matter. For the lowest prices and best value, you’ll want to do your shopping in months with cooler weather. It’s this time of the year where AC units will be more affordable and available for customers. 

The SEER Rating

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures the efficiency of an air conditioning system. The minimum SEER requirement for an AC unit is 14. When you’re buying an air conditioning system, you want its rating to be at least a 14, but ideally you would want a model that is rated higher on the efficiency scale.
