There are many factors to be taken into account when selecting a new A/C system or replacing an old one:
• Temperature control.
• Equipment cost.
• Monthly energy cost.
• Yearly maintenance.
• Warranties.
• FPL rebate.
• Return on your investment- ROI.
At AIR BY US, certified professionals will help you make the best decision for your needs. And we will implement it on time and on budget, making it right the first time.
To find some good basic information on selecting the right AC unit, check with the U.S. Department of Energy. In addition, the ACEEE has good information on choosing an AC, reducing AC costs and finding a good A/C ally!).
Saving Energy, Money, and our Planet on a High Efficiency A/C!
In most Florida homes, air conditioning accounts for approximately 50 percent or more of the annual electric bill. So, the selection of your new A/C system can make a big difference in your energy monthly bill. This, while reducing your carbon footprint by conserving natural resources!
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a measurement of the efficiency of your cooling system over an entire season. The higher the SEER, the higher the efficiency. Before 2006, most cooling systems were rated 8 - 10 SEER. In 2006, the minimum efficiency became 13 SEER. Today, top-end air conditioners can be as high as 24.5 SEER. A 24.5-SEER system is 145% more efficient than a 10-SEER system; a 16-SEER system is 60% more efficient than a 10-SEER system.
Example: Annual cooling cost run a 3-ton (36.000 BTU/Hour) produced in the 1990s with a 10 SEER will be $1,210.
If replaced with a new 15 SEER system, the cost drops to $810 - a savings of $400 per year.
Costs based on 2,800 annual cooling hours and 12 cents per kWh (average for South Florida)
