Purchasing an air conditioner unit is a great investment. You need to keep in mind certain factors such as the type of AC unit, your home requirements, comfort level, price, etc. while buying it. If you don’t pay attention to these factors, you may end up spending your hard-earned money on the wrong product. That’s why it is very important to understand the whole process before making a purchase. To help you with it, we are sharing 7 questions you should ask yourself when buying a new AC unit for your home.

What Should Be The Size Of The Air Conditioner?

Once you hire Semper Solaris, our experienced air conditioning crew will carry out Manual J load calculation. It is an HVAC industry standard method of calculating the size of the AC unit you need by considering certain factors such as the size of your home, orientation, layout, number of windows, size of windows, shade around your home etc. After determining these factors, our expert air conditioning technicians will provide you with the required AC size for your home.

At Semper Solaris, we don’t simply replace the old AC with the new one with the same capacity.

What Is The Efficiency Level Of A New AC Unit?

If you’re living with an old air conditioner, you must have already known that its efficiency degrades over time. Although new systems are maintained regularly, they can’t keep up their efficiency for a longer time. So, a good idea is to invest in a good-quality and energy-efficient Air Conditioner. Always look for an Energy Star Label of the product you’re purchasing. This signifies that the AC meets the minimum energy requirements set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

What New Technology Should I Go For?

Apart from the efficiency of the system, you should also look for the latest technology. Nowadays, a majority of ACs come with new technologies that make your air conditioning experience comfortable and also save money.

When you buy an AC unit, look for the features like variable speed motors. This feature is very helpful in saving power and your electricity bills.

What Is The Timeline For Installation?

If you’re buying an air conditioner to replace a broken or malfunctioning unit, you’ll need to get a new system as soon as possible. This is extreme if it’s a hot scorching summer.

Most of the time, air conditioner installation is a time consuming process. It can easily take more than a day to install the system as it involves plumbing, electrical and ductwork coordination.

Naturally, if the system is larger, it will require more time to install and may require several days to complete the process. At Semper Solaris, we provide you with the exact installation time for a new system or an air conditioner replacement.

Who Will Perform The Installation?

Installing an air conditioner is not something you can do on your own. It requires well-trained and certified professionals. All the air conditioning technicians at Semper Solaris are NATE-certified, which means they have passed the professionals tests and have a good amount of practical experience in the industry.

Should I Purchase Additional Air Quality Components?

The good news is, many technologically advanced air conditioning systems are able to perform several jobs all at once. They not only keep your home cool but also improves the air quality and regulates the humidity level. However, if your home is prone to airborne pollutants and leaks, you can add an indoor air quality component for improving the air quality.

At Semper Solaris, we offer a wide range of ACs with new technologies. Not only that, we offer a broad range of air quality components such as air cleaners, dehumidifiers, UV lamps and ventilators.

What Is The Estimated Cost For An AC Installation?

We understand that you want to know what you’re investing in and how much you’re going to spend. Cost is one of the most important deciding factors when it comes to purchasing equipment.

But the cost of installing an AC unit varies depending on certain factors like the size of your system, home cooling requirements, additional air quality components, other accessories etc.

When you work with our air conditioning company, our expert technicians will provide you a reliable installation estimate so that you can plan further.
