Your cooling system’s energy consumption is directly related to the capacity of your air conditioning unit. The efficiency of an air conditioner is commonly measured by its SEER rating, but size also places great influence.
The size of your home generally determines the capacity of your furnace. Still, other factors influence the size, such as the local climate, the insulation standard of your house, and the condition of your ductwork. It does not matter what SEER rating an air conditioner has. Choosing the right size will increase its efficiency.
In many cases, the existing AC units may already be oversized, so the same-size model should not be installed. Have a professional technician perform a load calculation to determine the correct size for your new air conditioner. Choosing the right type of HVAC system is essentialif you want to save money on your energy bill. Split air conditioners are more efficient and have higher SEER ratings, despite packaged AC units being smaller and cheaper to install.
