When should you buy a new air conditioning system?
If your current air conditioner is older than 10 years then it may be time to consider a replacement. Older AC systems don't have the latest technology which offers better performance and higher efficiency. Other signs include frequent repairs, inconsistent cooling throughout your home, or a sudden unexpected increase in your energy bills.

- System Size and Capacity: Larger homes require larger units which can cost more.
- Energy Efficiency: While energy efficient systems cost more upfront, these systems pay for themselves in energy savings, making them a worthwhile investment.
- Type Of System: Prices vary depending on if you choose to install a ductless mini-split, central air conditioner or a heat pump.
- Brand: We will help you decide based on your needs and budget which system is the best for you.
- Features: Certain features such as air purifiers, humidity control, and smart thermostats can be added on at an additional cost.
- Installation Complexity: Based on your home's infrastructure, available ductwork, and electrical capabilities.

What is SEER and is it worth investing in a High SEER rated system?
The minimum SEER rating in the southern United States is 15, whereas a SEER rating of 18+ is considered high efficiency. Not only can you save money on monthly energy bills, higher rated AC systems additionally tend to have a longer lifespan and also tend to include more advanced features for improved temperature regulation. With lower energy usage, higher SEER ratings equate to more environmentally friendly systems.

How To Choose The Best AC System For My Home?
There are important factors to consider when choosing which cooling system to install in your home. For example, if your home doesn't currently have ductwork, and you do not wish to install ductwork, a ductless system may be the perfect option. If you are looking to replace both your heating and cooling system, ductless mini-split and heat pumps may be a great solution. Central AC is another great option that holds up well in extremely hot temperatures.
