In the section where I live, air conditioner is a necessity.
The Summer weeks bring intense heat, high humidity and really little breeze. There was a time when air conditionings were known for using a superb deal of energy to operate! Fortunately, large improvements have been made in the design and engineering of new cooling systems. They are far more energy efficient and offer much higher SEER ratings. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and indicates the amount of cooling produced (BTU) divided by the amount of electricity (watts) used. The higher the SEER, the better the air conditioning’s efficiency. Not that more than 2 years ago, a respected cooling proposal would have a 10 SEER or less. This week, top quality air conditionings achieve up to 26 SEER, residential cooling systems manufactured after 2005 are required to have a minimum of 13 SEER. Replacing an outdated component with a high-efficiency, Energy Star rated model often saves enough money on yearly electric bills to spend our savings for the upgrade… Plus, newer cooling systems are better for the environment, covered by superior manufacturer’s warranties and offer a bunch of convenient features. It’s possible to link these air conditionings to a smart temperature control, set up zone control and take advantage of effective dehumidification and air filtration. Although our old air conditioning was still operational, I made the substitute to take advantage of the higher SEER rating and better comfort. I instantly noticed a large improvement in the cleanliness, odor and overall guess of our home. I prefer that I can adjust the temperature room by room and make changes through an app on our smartphone.
