Which Air Conditioner should I choose ???

Alpine Heating and Cooling • June 15, 2021

Choosing the correct air conditioning system can be a daunting task The average household in the US spends 16%-22% of their annual utility bill on cooling their home.


Therefore, it is critical to choose the right AC unit for your home!

Below are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your AC unit. Please contact us at Alpine Heating & Cooling and we can guide you through the rest of the process.


Size of AC Unit

Choosing an air conditioning system that is too small for your home can make the system work too hard and too often. This will increase your utility bills significantly!

On the opposite side, choosing a AC system with a that is too large for your home can cause it to start up and shut down multiple times a day which causes stress and strain on the mechanical components which will decrease the life of your AC unit!


Evaluate Energy Efficiency and Cost

Always consider the air conditioner’s energy efficiency before you purchase it. The energy efficiency refers to the unit's ability to convert electricity into cooling cost-effectively.

Everyone obviously wants the most "Bang for their Buck" . Before you go for the cheaper options, though, consider the cost of increase running and maintenance costs. A higher efficiency system may cost more today but far-far less down the road.

Consider Other HVAC Features


Equally important as the above issues it is necessary to look at additional features of an air conditioning system before you buy. Some AC units will be accompanied with a programmable thermostat that can save a lot of money in those cold Winter and hot Summer months. By utilizing a programmable thermostat, you can reduce your cooling cost by up to 15%-20%.


Other features such as Wifi thermostats, touchpad control, smart home automation can also assist you save more on your energy bills and improve the overall efficiency of your system.

Favorite State you’ve visited other than Ohio? A: North Carolina 3. Would you rather be chased by one angry goose or ten aggressive squirrels? A: One angry goose, having ten small things running around is hard to manage, one larger thing is more controllable. 4. What’s one piece of advice you’d give a homeowner to avoid breakdowns? A: Have maintenance done. Keep filters and the outdoor unit clean. 5. Remove One for the rest of your life… 1. Pizza 2. Cheeseburgers 3. Pasta A: Pasta.
