Users decided to part ways with their old air conditioning (AC) system. It is not always an easy decision to make.
But now, users can get ready for a new era of home comfort, with lower utility bills and improved indoor air quality (IAQ). Did users know upgrading the AC can reduce the electricity bill by up to 50 percent, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE)?

Here are five factors to consider when looking for a new air conditioner:
- Be sure the air conditioner is the right size for the home - Like an article of clothing that is too big or too small, a wrong-sized air conditioner won’t do the home any favors. Oversized air conditioners use too much energy, jacking up the utility bills. Undersized units get overworked and provide insufficient cooling. Be sure to have one of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) specialists measure and audit the home. They will perform calculations to find the best unit tailored to their space.
- Brands matter - The brand and model they choose will impact the price. A variable-speed AC costs more but provides more comfort at a lower operating budget. A smaller home can probably get away with a single-stage system. But for a larger home, consider a two-speed system at the very least.
- Hire an expert contractor - A new central air system is a significant investment. It may be tempting to cut labor costs. However, doing so could cost them more later on when the AC unit breaks down. Be sure the HVAC technicians they hire for the job are licensed, insured, and have a solid reputation.
- Get a detailed estimate - Estimates in writing are paramount to any professional installation. Be sure the written estimate contains a warranty, work details, precise schedule, and payment terms.
- Make quality a top priority - A quality installation job will increase the home value, keeping users comfortable for countless summers. However, an inadequate installation job can create many difficulties down the road—including costly repairs, damage to the home, or premature AC replacement. Be sure to find a qualified HVAC team that will deliver the flawless upgrade they deserve.
