ac replacement cost​

Accepted Answer

Getting a properly sized central air conditioner is a critical part of your AC replacement journey. HVAC sizing should be done by an HVAC professional who takes the time to do it right, performing a precise load calculation to determine the AC unit size that is suitable for your home. There are two important air conditioner energy-efficiency ratings - SEER2 and EER2. The most energy-efficient air conditioners will have high ratings in both categories. SEER2 stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. It measures an AC unit’s cooling efficiency in a temperature range of 65-104° F.  The higher the SEER2, the more efficient the air conditioner is. How many cooling stages your new central air unit has will combine with the SEER2 and EER2 ratings to provide you with a range of energy efficiencies. Let’s take a look at the options. Cost shouldn’t be the only factor you consider, but we know it’s a big one for most homeowners. Think both in terms of upfront costs and future cost savings. The most energy-efficient air conditioner will cost more than a lower SEER2 single-stage AC unit, but it can result in lower utility bills for years to come.
