Is it time to update your HVAC equipment for summer? We get it—choosing a new air conditioner can be a daunting task. Don’t fret! We have several pro tips to help the process go as smoothly for you as possible:
- Get an expert opinion on your existing unit and the benefits of a new unit from one of Appel’s experienced professionals. Our team will measure and properly size equipment for your home.
- Head to www.energystar.gov for good resources on efficiency of systems.
- Pay attention to the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)—the higher the number, the more efficient the system.
- Check the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER)—again, the higher number indicates better efficiency.
- Read the warranty, and then read it again. Does it cover parts, or just labor? Which parts are covered and for how many years? Is there an extended warranty available?
