Why Getting a New Air Conditioner Can Lower Your Utility Costs
In many locations in of North America, central air conditioning is important to guarantee humid comfort during the humid summer months. Unfortunately, cooling is typically the biggest expense on your monthly electricity bills.
The key to decreasing your long-term charges could be to install a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. In the past, this required a large upfront investment. Now, there new alternatives available that make buying an up-to-date, high-efficiency air conditioner in your house easier than ever.
We’ll explain more about this solution in just a bit. But one thing is certain, an up-to-date, high-efficiency air conditioner can give sizeable energy savings during its lifetime. Here’s what to think about as you research air conditioning replacement in the U.S..
Why a Higher SEER Rating Is Worth It
Every air conditioner gets a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which grades how efficiently it uses electricity for cooling. Higher SEER ratings mean a system is more energy efficient.
As of 2015, your new air conditioning installation should be 13 SEER or better in Canada and the northern United States. If you live in the South, your new air conditioner has to be at a baseline of 14 SEER.
To compare, the minimum standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and the most high-end air conditioners available today are around 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator shows that improving your 10 SEER air conditioner to a mid-grade 16 SEER model could save you 38% on your electrical costs annually!
Why Figuring Out Your Air Conditioner’s Size Matters
Sizing your cooling system properly is also crucial if you desire to Lower your monthly utility expenses.
Air conditioning is measured in “tons.” Sizing is crucial because an air conditioner that’s too massive or tiny can’t keep your family comfortable.
An air conditioner that’s too massive will frequently short cycle, which means it will have difficulty removing humidity accurately. One that’s too tiny will fall behind with demand on warm days. Both troubles will lead to your home being too hot, increase wear and tear on your air conditioner and may drive up your utility bill.

Other Ways to Improve Your Home's Efficiency
The final approach to ensure monthly savings when you install a new air conditioner is to boost your Home's attic insulation. Merely 10% of homes in the U.S have enough attic insulation, according to study completed by Boston University. Having the right depth of insulation may help keep your utility costs down and keep your house more pleasant regardless of temperatures outside.
We also advise closing any air leaks in your house before we carry out an AC sizing calculation. A more leakproof, more insulated house could use a smaller system, saving you on your initial investment and possibly lowering your utility costs down the road.
