A core concern for most homeowners is how much a new AC will cost them initially and day-to-day. Electricity rates aren’t going down, so the focus has to be on minimizing consumption. That begins with a load calculation of your residence to determine the size of your new AC as accurately as possible. Key factors include your home’s floor plan, square footage, and ceiling heights. We’ll also account for the home’s building envelope and any unique aspects of its location.
The industry measures cooling efficiency using the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). SEER2 is a newer version. It accounts for static air pressure, which is important for ducted ACs. The higher the SEER2 value, the less electricity an AC will consume. High-SEER systems do carry a premium. So, your installation consultation will help you strike a balance between initial and long-term costs.
Systems with the ENERGY STAR label have met the U.S. EPA’s efficiency standards through independent lab testing. That label gives consumers peace of mind. It’s also often a requirement for rebates, tax credits, and other incentives.
One of the easiest ways to save is to install a programmable or smart thermostat alongside your new AC. The basic scheduling all programmable thermostats provide can lower cooling costs by 10%. Smart thermostats support Wi-Fi for remote access and control. They often have additional advanced features that can help you save. Those include machine learning and energy usage tracking with reporting.
You may also want to consider a multispeed AC. Traditional ACs run at a single speed at all times. Two-stage ACs have a low and high mode. Variable-speed ACs can ramp up and down in small increments. This lets the system minimize electricity use based on your current cooling needs.
A typical central AC has a single zone, which is the entire home. A zone control system is an alternative in which we organize the home into discrete cooling zones. That approach can lower annual cooling costs by up to 30%. It requires one or more smart thermostats that support zoning. Zone control also requires a variable-speed air handler. You’ll also need active duct dampers to control the airflow to the various zones throughout the home.
A new air conditioning installation can provide a household with many benefits.
- Energy incentives
- Quieter operation
- Lower cooling costs
- Improved air quality
- Smaller carbon footprint
