Essential Things to Know About Air Conditioning Installation
Are you a San Jose home owner in the market for a new air conditioning system? If so, then you are aware that it can be both an exciting and a stressful event. Keeping yourself informed about the process can help make everything easier. With that in mind, here are some essential things you should know about air conditioning installation from the experts at Pelle Heating & Air Conditioning.
Replacing an outdated A/C system can significantly reduce your bills
If you have an old air conditioning unit, most likely it has some outdated, worn out components. When you replace these components, you can improve the performance of your A/C unit, but only up to a point. After a certain amount of time, the only thing that you can do to help your system is to replace it completely. New air conditioning systems have different efficiency requirements than those that are ten years or older. When you replace your unit with an Energy Star rated air conditioner, you will see a significant savings in your monthly energy bills.
Replace your thermostat to make the most of your new air conditioning installation
As long as your thermostat seems to be working well, you may think it’s okay to keep it as long as possible. After all, it saves you the cost of installing a new one, right? However, over a period of time this decision could be very costly. When you upgrade your thermostat to a programmable one at the same time you get air conditioning installation, you can cut your costs even more.
Some home owners don’t realize that central air is possible even without ducts
Most San Jose homeowners without ducts in their houses will install window air conditioners. These small but heavy window units are known to be noisy, inefficient and ineffective, and because of this, most people much prefer central air. What you may not realize is that with a ductless min-split air conditioner, you can have central air without any need for ducts. A professional from Pelle Heating & Air Conditioning can install an outside unit and indoor air handlers around your home. We do this by simply making a small hole in the wall to connect the two parts. This removes the need to do any major renovation in your home.
Remember that sizing is just as important as efficiency ratings
Always remember, that even if you choose the most efficient air conditioning system in the world, it cannot run properly unless it is the proper size for the space it is expected to cool. In other words, it should not be too big or too small. An A/C unit that’s too small will do a poor job of cooling your home, and a unit that is too large can short cycle or even fail permanently. When you get air conditioning installation with units appropriate for your home, you will get the best performance and energy efficiency possible.
Professional air conditioning installation is vital to ensure that you get a top quality job
Did you know that the most important day in the lifespan of your air conditioning system is the day that it’s installed? Correct installation and the right size A/C unit are responsible for nearly 75% of your system’s efficiency and performance. Always keep in mind that replacing your air conditioning system is not the same as replacing a commodity like a toaster oven or a washer. Your A/C system’s reliability, energy efficiency, safety and performance are all directly related to the quality of the air conditioning installation. When you are spending your hard-earned dollars on a new system, you want to make sure that you get the right equipment for your home, as well as a guarantee that the system will meet your performance expectations. The professionals at Pelle Heating & Air Conditioning are glad to perform your air conditioning installation. They will ensure that your installation is done smoothly and properly, including proper sizing and air distribution.
