Choosing the Right Air Conditioning Unit for Your South Brunswick Township, NJ Home
Our technicians often find oversized HVAC equipment in homes and businesses. An oversized AC will cycle too frequently, wearing down the parts and adding to your energy bill.
Planning to purchase a new air conditioning system? You can count on our technicians to accurately measure your home and recommend the best AC unit for your budget and needs.
Aside from square footage, other factors we take into consideration include:
- Ceiling height—Higher ceilings require larger air conditioners.
- Layout—The layout of your home can determine the size of your HVAC equipment.
- Windows—The size and number of windows in your home will affect your energy use.
- Local climate—Temperatures and humidity levels play a role in the equipment you need.
- Insulation—A well-insulated home requires less cooling energy.
Two-Stage or Variable Speed?
If your AC is more than 15 years old, it likely is a single-stage model with a compressor that runs at capacity.
New air conditioners are available with single-stage, two-stage, or variable speed compressors. A two-stage unit runs at full speed in hot temperatures. It operates at less capacity on more moderate days and uses less energy the rest of the time.
A variable speed compressor can adjust to almost any speed. It runs at the capacity needed to achieve the desired temperature in your home, making it the most efficient system available.
Two-stage and variable speed compressors also offer better dehumidification and more even cooling. Our professionals at Cleworth Comfort HVAC can help recommend the best system for your home.
What does SEER mean?
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio—or SEER rating—measures how much energy an air conditioning system uses to operate. A higher rating number means a more efficient operation. ENERGY STAR®–qualified central air conditioners, for example, must have a SEER of at least 14.
Beginning in January 2023, SEER ratings for AC units increased from 13 to 14 in northern states and 14 to 15 SEER in the South and Southwest regions of the country. The increase in efficiency means you will use less electricity for the same amount of cooling.
Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
A poorly installed air conditioner will begin to rattle over time, creating a subpar performance. At Cleworth Comfort HVAC, we take great pride in installing HVAC equipment so that it operates efficiently for years to come.
A well-maintained AC unit will provide 15 years or more of solid service. Replacing your older system with a high-efficiency model could qualify you for a tax credit.
Here are a few signs that it might be time to replace your air conditioning unit:
- Your AC unit is more than 15 years old or no longer protected by a warranty.
- You have hot and cold spots throughout your home.
- Your system makes rattling noises every time it operates.
- Your system needs frequent repairs.
- Your system frequently cycles on and off.
How Much Money Can You Save With a New Air Conditioner?
Our SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit’s SEER value and compare it to a newer, more efficient SEER2 unit. You can even customize it to better match your home’s system for a more accurate calculation.
