Why Installing a New Air Conditioner Can Reduce Your Electricity Bills

In many locations in of North America, central air conditioning is critical to ensure home comfort during the sweltering summer months. Unfortunately, using your air conditioner is typically the biggest expense on your monthly electricity bills. 

The key to lowering your ongoing charges may be to buy a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. In the past, this required a sizeable upfront investment. Now, there new options available that make installing a new, high-efficiency air conditioner in your house faster than ever. 

We’ll explain more about this solution in a little bit. But one thing is certain, a an up-to-date, high-efficiency air conditioner can deliver substantial energy savings during its lifetime. Here’s what to think about as you look into air conditioning replacement in Calgary. 

Why a Greater SEER Rating is Worthwhile

Every air conditioner receives a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which tests how efficiently it uses electricity for cooling. Bigger SEER ratings mean a system is more energy efficient. 

As of 2015, your new air conditioning installation must be 13 SEER or greater in Canada and the northern United Provinces. If you are the South, your new air conditioner is required to be at a baseline of 14 SEER. 

For contrast, the smallest standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and top-of-the-line air conditioners for sale today reach near 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator shows that enhancing your 10 SEER equipment to a mid-grade 16 SEER model could save you 38% on your cooling costs per year! 

Why Calculating Your Air Conditioner’s Size is Important

Sizing your air conditioning accurately is also important if you want to lower your monthly electrical bills. 

Air conditioners are measured in “tons.” Sizing is important because an air conditioner that’s too massive or tiny can’t keep your home pleasant. 

An air conditioner that’s too large will commonly short cycle, which means it will have a hard time removing humidity properly. One that’s too little won’t be able to keep up with demand on warm days. Both troubles will lead to your home being sticky, increase wear and tear on your air conditioner and could enlarge your utility bill.

Other Ways to Enhance Your House’s Efficiency

The final approach to verify monthly savings when you replace your air conditioner is to boost your residence’s attic insulation. Just 10% of houses in the U.S. have enough attic insulation, according to study conducted by Boston University. Having the correct level of insulation can help keep your heating and cooling expenses lower and keep your home more comfy no matter the weather. 

We also recommend closing any air leaks in your house before we carry out an AC sizing calculation. A tighter, more insulated residence might use a smaller system, saving you on your upfront investment and likely lowering your utility costs later on.
