You have plans to install a new air conditioner for your home. You may have inherited your current air conditioner when you moved into the house and this is the first time you\u2019ve needed to confront getting a new one. But even if you\u2019ve gone through an AC replacement before, it\u2019s probably been many years since you did it the last time and you\u2019re unsure about what you need to do or what type of cooling system to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No problem, we\u2019re here to help. We\u2019re the HVAC company in Mcdonough, GA<\/a> who can help make the process of putting in a new air conditioning system straightforward and with excellent results. Let\u2019s first start with some questions you can ask yourself that will help get the process going. These will also lead to questions you can ask your AC installers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Am I interested in a high-efficiency system?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

High-efficiency air conditioners are now popular options, and it\u2019s easy for most people to think that their best choice for a new AC is one of these units. However, higher efficiency air conditioners are more expensive to install, so if you\u2019re interested in getting a high-efficiency system, you\u2019ll need to weigh several factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something to keep in mind is that current ACs have higher standards for efficiency than 10 years ago, so almost any new AC you have to replace your old one will have better efficiency. In some cases, you may be better off with a standard efficiency system. But some high-efficiency units may deliver great long-term savings. This guide on high-efficiency ACs<\/a> breaks down the differences to help you make a smart choice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is a heat pump a good option?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heat pumps are like air conditioning systems that also provide heating when needed. They work well in our mild winter climates, and this makes them attractive choices for many homes. If you have an electric furnace for your home heating and it\u2019s also coming near to point where it will need replacement, a heat pump becomes an excellent choice you can have two comfort issues solved in one.\u00a0If you’re not sure whether it’s the right dual-purpose option, this article explains how ductless heat pumps can offer year-round comfort<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if you have a gas furnace, we\u2019d recommend keeping with that type of heating system. Because a heat pump is only worth the installation cost if it does both heating and cooling, you\u2019re better off going with a standard air conditioner if you aren\u2019t going to also replace the heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How large an AC does my home need?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

AC “size” is a measure of the cooling capacity of the system. To work properly, an air conditioner must be in the zone between too small and too large. You can check on your current AC\u2019s cooling capacity (which is listed in tons) to get an idea of what size you’re looking for. But please leave the actual sizing of your new system to the professionals: this must<\/em> be done accurately of the new air conditioner will struggle to cool the house and end up wasting power.\u00a0Learn what size AC your house really needs<\/a> before making a final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
