Choosing an Air Conditioning System

Selecting an air conditioner for your home is a big decision. It’s an important investment today, and it will play a key role in your home energy expenses for years. When the summer heat is at its worst, you’ll want your family to have the best, most reliable cooling comfort possible. Here are a few things to consider.

What do good central air units have in common?

The best ones are efficient, operating on minimal electricity to reduce utility bills. When properly maintained, they provide steady, dependable performance year after year. Good systems are quiet, long-lasting, and low in service needs.

Which air conditioners are energy efficient?

Much like automobile manufacturers, today’s air conditioner manufacturers are required by law to evaluate and rate their equipment according to its energy efficiency. This rating is known in the industry as a SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the equipment.

Most new homes with central air come with a standard builder’s model. However, when replacement becomes necessary, property owners can upgrade their air conditioning by specifying a more energy-efficient system.

Are some air conditioners built better than others?

The compressor is the heart of a condensing unit. On a hot day, it works long and hard. Rheem installs the highly advanced scroll compressor in every Rheem condensing unit produced. The industry recognizes Scroll Compressors as the leader in reliability, efficiency, and quiet operation.

Other features include louvered steel cabinets that protect the coils from damage and expensive repair bills.

Also, with some condensing units, the fan can be another source of bothersome noise. Rheem units have a grill design that minimizes air restriction for quieter fan operation.
