Things to Consider When Replacing Your Air Conditioner

June 01, 2017

Even with careful AC maintenance, there is a time when every air conditioner needs to be replaced. We understand that annual maintenance will prolong an AC’s lifespan, but when the time comes, the experts at Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning will be here to help you get the best air conditioner replacement for your home’s needs in Savage. When you’re shopping for a new air conditioner, there are many factors to consider and we’ll help you navigate them all to select the system that will be best for your house and your budget.

One feature everybody looks for in an AC replacement is dependability. Choosing the right AC and keeping it well-maintained offers you years of efficient, comfortable service from it. Here are a few other important factors to think about:

  • Make sure your AC replacement is the appropriate size for your home. A system that is too big will cycle on and off too frequently, which can lead to wear and tear on your new system and shortening its life. Likewise, it can be tempting to buy a smaller system to save some costs upfront. However, a smaller system can cost you more in the long run if it’s too small to keep your indoor space cool. It will run continuously to try to keep up and will have a significantly shortened life. You’ll pay more on utility bills during its life and you’ll find yourself AC shopping again much sooner than you want. We can help you determine the appropriate sized air conditioner for your home.
  • Ratings matter. Look for the most efficient air conditioner your budget will allow for, because you’ll get the payback every month on your energy bills. Look for high SEER ratings. The higher the rating, the superior the efficiency.
  • Look for a good warranty. We can help you find an air conditioner replacement with a great warranty, and we offer the maintenance service that’s usually needed to keep that warranty valid.
  • Rebates and incentives are always nice. We will keep you in the loop about any specials, rebates or incentives being offered. Many times, you’ll find incentives through your utility company as well when you acquire a high-efficiency air conditioner replacement.
