One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a new air conditioning system is the appliance’s SEER rating, which stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. All air conditioners have efficiency ratings to guide consumers on how well the A/C uses electricity to cool your home. In the United States, the minimum allowable SEER for central air conditioners stands at 13. Beyond this rating, six other factors play an important role in the decision-making process about air conditioning.
Here’s a weekend project that could end up giving you all-year savings: performing a home-energy audit.
Winter’s nearly over, though in our area, that’s not something you can bank on. This is relevant to the homeowner now facing marginal performance from a furnace at the end of its usable life span. If you’ve resisted installing a new furnace and are nursing a marginal system through the season’s final cold snaps, your procrastination may lead to sunnier days — both seasonally and financially.
Noises coming from your heating and cooling ducts can be annoying, but they also can be a cry for help from your ductwork. Most ductwork is constructed of sheet metal, which is a good conductor of sound, and that banging and clattering could mean that your HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) needs service.
