Checking Your AC’s Level of Energy Consumption with a Professional Consultant

No one wants to waste more money than they need to on their utility bills every month. Because your air conditioner is going to be running a lot, the costs of cooling your home can quickly add up if it is not very efficient. 

Therefore, before you select an air conditioner, you should always check its SEER rating. SEER stands for “seasonal energy efficiency ratio,” and the higher this ratio is, the more capable your system is at consuming energy efficiently.

Nowadays, all air conditioners are required to have at least a level 13 SEER rating, but truly effective systems can have ratings of 22 or 23. Let one of our air conditioner specialists at Freedom Heating & Air handle this task for you. We can even provide same-day appointments. 

Signs It's Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner

Are you experiencing constant breakdowns, rising energy bills, or inconsistent cooling in your home? It might be a clear indication that it's time to consider replacing your air conditioner. At Freedom Heating & Air, we understand the importance of a properly functioning cooling system for your comfort and peace of mind. 

Here are some signs that suggest it's time to invest in a new air conditioner:

• Age of Your Current System: Air conditioners typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. If your AC unit is approaching or exceeding this range, it may be prone to frequent breakdowns and inefficient performance. Upgrading to a newer model will not only improve efficiency but also provide better cooling capacity and enhanced features.
• Frequent Repairs: Are you finding yourself frequently calling for repairs to keep your air conditioner running? The cost of repeated repairs can quickly add up, and at some point, it becomes more cost-effective to invest in a new AC unit. Additionally, an older system might face difficulties in finding replacement parts, leading to longer repair times and increased inconvenience.
• Rising Energy Bills: Have you noticed a sudden increase in your energy bills without a corresponding change in your usage patterns? Older air conditioners tend to lose efficiency over time, causing them to work harder and consume more energy to maintain the desired temperature. By upgrading to a newer, energy-efficient model, you can significantly reduce your cooling costs and save money in the long run.
• Inconsistent Cooling: Do certain rooms in your home remain hot and uncomfortable despite your AC running constantly? Uneven cooling or hot spots can be a sign of an aging air conditioner that is struggling to distribute cool air evenly throughout your home. Investing in a new system will ensure consistent and balanced cooling, providing you with a comfortable indoor environment.
• Excessive Noise: Is your air conditioner making loud and unusual noises during operation? While some noise is expected, excessive rattling, grinding, or squealing sounds can indicate significant issues with your AC unit. These noises can be a sign of worn-out components or internal damage, which may require costly repairs. Replacing the unit can eliminate the noise and give you a quieter and more enjoyable living space.
• Poor Indoor Air Quality: A deteriorating air conditioner can contribute to poor indoor air quality. If you notice an increase in dust, allergens, or musty odors in your home, it could be a result of an inefficient or malfunctioning cooling system. Upgrading to a new air conditioner with advanced filtration systems can help eliminate pollutants, improve air quality, and create a healthier living environment.
