The hot summer months can be unbearable without a properly functional AC Unit. While you may be enjoying spring right now, we all know that summer is just around the corner. Soon people would be rushing to their air-conditioned rooms to get relief from the scorching heat.
Installing an AC can be a complicated process.Having a professional install your AC will ensure that it is installed properly. Nor-Can Heating & Air has trained professionals for this purpose. Here are some crucial factors to consider before installing an AC system.
Know Your Budget
It is not wise to spend a lot of money on a new AC system. Research about the features and cooling capacity you want. Talk to a professional to get a better understanding of the different types of models and options there are available to you under your budget. Budgeting can be tricky, but with the right advice from an HVAC professional, you can get help deciding on the most suitable AC system for your home.
Consider The Size
Purchasing the right size of AC system for your home is key to ensure comfort and efficiency. If your AC is too small, it will have to work harder to cool your room and will fail to provide you comfort in the hot weather. This continuous running of your AC will cause a surge in your electricity bills. On the other hand, if your AC is too large, it will start and stop frequently, thus consuming a lot of electricity. So, you must ensure that you get the right size unit(s) for your home.
Adjust Optimal Airflow
The quality of the air in your room is a critical component. Each AC has specific airflow rates according to its particular situation. Ensure that your contractor adjusts those flow rates according to your AC model’s specifications and verifies that it is working fine.
Consider Efficiency
The value of your Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) will determine the efficiency of your AC system. The higher the value is, the more efficient your AC system will be. However, it is important to note that the price will go up with an increasing value of SEER. But you should still consider this value before planning to install an AC system.
There are many benefits of having an AC system with a high SEER value, such as better performance, longer life, and energy efficiency.
Refrigerant Level
Before your contractor can turn on your AC for the first time it is advisable that you check the refrigerant level in it. Refrigerant is important for the absorption and release of heat during the process. If the refrigerant level is too low, your AC won’t function properly and won’t cool enough. Therefore, ask your contractor to check it before turning on the AC.
Choose The Right Place Of Installation
Not every place in your home is suitable for installing an AC system. You must avoid AC installation in the following places:
- A hot area in your home
- Near trash cans
- Near fire hazards
You must install your AC system in a central location where your AC will have enough airflow space.
