If last year\u2019s energy bills were too much to deal with, energy efficiency is a major goal with your new AC installation. Check out our guide to finding an efficient installation for your home, and call the friendly team at AC Designs Inc. for more information.<\/p>\n
An energy\u2010efficient HVAC installation starts with selecting a properly sized, high\u2011SEER system and having it professionally installed:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ENERGY STAR seal is a government-approved label certifying your new appliance has met or surpassed certain federal energy efficiency requirements while maintaining the performance levels you would expect from your new system. You should definitely make sure your new system carries the ENERGY STAR seal, but this isn\u2019t the only thing to look for with your new AC installation.<\/p>\n The minimum SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) for air conditioners in our area is 14 (and it\u2019s 13 in many colder states). Air conditioners need a SEER of 15 to get the ENERGY STAR seal. And yet, there are air conditioners with SEERs of 16, 17, 18, and even higher!<\/p>\n The SEER is measured by testing the system to determine the average energy usage in a variety of temperatures and humidity levels, making it a good measure of a systems efficiency.<\/p>\n We must start by saying that a window AC unit is simply not an efficient AC installation. It only cools one room at a time, and you need several for your whole home. Running several units will certainly raise your bills. Window units are not held to the same efficiency ratings as central air conditioners, and they can raise energy bills quickly.<\/p>\n Professional installation is a must for your new central air conditioning system<\/a> or ductless AC system<\/a>. Professional HVAC technicians will measure the unit first to make sure that it is the right fit for your home. A system that\u2019s slightly bigger or smaller than it needs to be cannot run efficiently, no matter the SEER.<\/p>\n Question:<\/b> What defines an energy\u2011efficient AC installation?<\/span> Question:<\/b> What efficiency rating should I look for when purchasing a new air conditioner?<\/span> Question:<\/b> Why is professional installation so important for AC efficiency?<\/span> Question:<\/b> Why might a window\u2011style air conditioner be less efficient overall?<\/span> Give AC Designs Inc. a call for AC installation in Mandarin.

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
<\/span>Answer:<\/b> An energy\u2011efficient AC installation includes selecting a system with a high SEER rating, ensuring it meets energy certification standards, and having it professionally installed to match your home\u2019s size and layout. Proper installation helps the system operate efficiently and last longer.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>Answer:<\/b> Look for a unit with an ENERGY STAR label and a SEER rating of 15 or higher. Systems with SEER ratings of 16\u201318 or more offer even greater efficiency and can significantly lower your energy bills over time.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>Answer:<\/b> A professional installer ensures the system is properly sized for your home, sealed correctly, and integrated with your ductwork. Even the most efficient unit won\u2019t perform well if it\u2019s installed incorrectly or is too large or small for the space.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>Answer:<\/b> Window AC units typically cool only one room and often lack the efficiency ratings of central systems. Using several to cool a whole house can lead to higher energy use and greater overall costs compared to a central or ductless system.<\/span><\/p>\n
