Benefits of Energy-Efficient Air Conditioning
Tori Klein • August 12, 2021
You might be noticing an increase in your cooling bills this summer and thinking the electric company is to blame.
Before you start questioning their service, ask yourself if your air conditioning unit is running efficiently like it used to? The older a machine gets, its efficiency decreases; parts that worked great are now lagging behind. Besides higher bills for home coolers, another telltale sign of decreased AC performance can be found on uneven distribution around the house – something we all want.
If you feel like your home temperature is all over the place, and it's taking a lot of work to cool off in any room or area, then consider an energy-efficient air conditioning installation. One day it might be hot as summer outside but inside only slightly cooled; other days cold enough for ice cubes to form on the windowsills. This could indicate that something needs to be fixed with your thermostat settings or time for them to update.
One thing we see quite often at our company is customers who have inconsistent temperatures throughout their homes when they're trying new devices out (like smart plugs). Always check how your house feels before making changes because one device may not affect every level of cooling within the household.
1. Less repair
When you have a higher efficiency level in your air conditioning unit, it's not working as hard to cool your home. This means that the equipment will be able to operate better and need less repair work overtime. And this is just a bonus because it also means more savings for you.
2. Long life expectancy
With the proper maintenance and tune-ups, your efficient air conditioning unit could last up to 20 years. Investing in a higher efficiency AC installation will help save you money on repairs and extend its lifespan so that it can continue functioning quite efficiently for many more summers than if left unaddressed.
3. Low operating cost
You might feel hesitant to buy a new air conditioning systems for your home, but in the end, it will save you money. One of the most expensive components on a monthly utility bill is heating and cooling costs, which are usually about 50% of that total cost. In some cases, these expenses can be reduced by up to 1/3 after just one month.
4. Incentives and rebates
The government offers rebates for installing an energy-efficient air conditioner. If you live in a state with such programs, make sure to do your research on the availability of incentives and contact a local HVAC professional who will be able to answer any questions about these types of promotions and help save some money upfront while also helping keep our environment clean.
5. Less to no equipment breakdowns
The best way to prevent service interruptions is with an annual tune-up. Industry experts agree that neglecting your HVAC system can cause up to 95% of breakdowns and repairs, but scheduled tune-ups are the key to preventing these issues from occurring.
6. Energy efficient
The lowest utility bills are achieved with Energy-efficient HVAC Systems that can be adequately maintained to produce the highest efficiency. Commercial refrigeration should represent not only a significant investment but also one of your biggest energy expenses as well. Properly maintaining these systems will make them more efficient and save you money in the long run when it comes time for repairs or replacements.

With so many options, it can be easy to get lost in all the choices we offer without calculating just how much money they'll save on utility costs or what benefits they provide for homeowners like yourself looking at investing with their current system.
