Why Installing a New Air Conditioner Can Lower Your Cooling Expenses

In many locations in of North America, central air conditioning is crucial to ensure your loved ones’ comfort during the hot summer months. Unfortunately, air conditioning is typically the biggest expense on your monthly electricity bills. 

The secret to lowering your ongoing charges could be to buy a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. In the past, this required a sizeable upfront investment. Now, there new options available that make installing a new, high-efficiency air conditioner in your residence easier than ever. 

We’ll explain more about this option in just a bit. But one thing is certain, a a modern, high-efficiency air conditioner can provide sizeable energy savings over its lifetime. Here’s what to think about as you check out air conditioning replacement in Winnipeg. 

Why a Bigger SEER Rating is Worthwhile

Every air conditioner receives a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which tests how efficiently it transforms electricity into cooling. Higher SEER ratings mean an air conditioner is more energy efficient. 

As of 2015, your new air conditioning installation must be 13 SEER or higher in Canada and the northern United Provinces. If you are the South, your new air conditioner is required to be at minimum 14 SEER. 

For comparison, the minimum standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and premium air conditioners on the market today rank around 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator demonstrates that upgrading your 10 SEER air conditioner to a mid-priced 16 SEER system could save you 38% on your utility costs every year! 

Why Figuring Out Your Air Conditioner’s Size is Critical

Sizing your air conditioner accurately is also critical if you desire to reduce your monthly air conditioning expenses. 

Air conditioning is rated in “tons.” Sizing is crucial because an air conditioner that’s too large or little can’t keep your residence pleasant. 

An air conditioner that’s too big will often short cycle, which means it will have a hard time removing humidity correctly. One that’s too tiny will fall behind with demand on warm days. Both troubles will lead to your home being sticky, increase hard wear on your air conditioner and could enlarge your cooling expenses.

Other Ways to Enhance Your House’s Efficiency

The final approach to confirm monthly savings when you replace your air conditioner is to increase your residence’s attic insulation. Just 10% of houses in the U.S. have proper attic insulation, according to study performed by Boston University. Having the correct amount of insulation could help keep your heating and cooling expenses lower and keep your house more comfortable no matter the weather. 

Also, we recommend securing any air leaks in your house before we do an AC sizing calculation. A tighter, more insulated home might call for a smaller system, saving you on your upfront investment and possibly reducing your energy bills for years to come.
