Residential

There are plenty of factors that affect the efficiency of your home air conditioning system -- the size of the unit, placement, SEER rating etc. investing in a residential air conditioner is an expensive proposition, and so, it makes sense to put that money down on a newer more energy efficient unit that can save you money on energy bills. If you have an older residential AC, you will find that replacing it with a new AC can offer greater energy efficiency than merely conducting expensive repairs every couple of months.

The proper size of house air conditioning system is critical to achieve high energy efficiency. A home air conditioner that is too large for a room will operate in brief cooling cycles whenever the desired temperature is reached. Not only does this mean energy wastage, because the system keeps switching on and off when the desired temperature is reached, but these shorter cycles fail to remove moisture, increasing humidity and the potential for mold growth. A residential air conditioner that's too small on the other hand, won't be able to coo the room effectively during peak season, effectively, thereby defeating the purpose of installing a home AC. Plus, the system is forced to run continuously to meet the home's cooling needs, thereby inflating your energy bills. Look for a home air conditioner with a higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). These are more expensive, but you'll be able to make up the costs in operating savings.

A professional residential air conditioning contractor will consider all factors before recommending a home air conditioning unit for your needs. For instance, an 18 rating SEER model may not be necessary, if you live in an area where you don't have high cooling needs. We can help you find residential air conditioning contractors in Irvine, who can help you understand these specifications, and make the right choice that's optimized for highest operating efficiency.
