Things to Consider When Replacing Your Air Conditioner

June 01, 2017

Even with careful AC maintenance, the time arises when every air conditioner will need replaced. We know that annual maintenance will lengthen an AC’s lifespan, but when the time occurs, the experts at TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical will be here to help you get the best air conditioner replacement for your home’s needs in Libertyville. When you’re looking for a new air conditioner, there are many factors to consider and we’ll help you navigate them all to choose the system that will be best for your house and your budget.

One feature everyone looks for in an AC replacement is dependability. Selecting the right AC and keeping it well-maintained offers you years of efficient, comfortable service from it. Here are a few other important factors to think about:

  • Make sure your AC replacement is the right size for your home. A system that is too large will cycle on and off too frequently, which can lead to wear and tear on your new system and reducing its life. Likewise, it can be tempting to buy a smaller system to save some costs upfront. However, a smaller system can cost you more in the long run if it’s too small to keep your house cool. It will run endlessly to try to keep up and will have a noticeably shortened life. You’ll pay more on utility bills during its life and you’ll find yourself AC shopping again much sooner than you would prefer. We can help you determine the appropriate sized air conditioner for your home.
  • Ratings matter. Select the most efficient air conditioner your budget will allow for, because you’ll see the payback every month on your energy costs. Look for high SEER ratings. The higher the rating, the superior the efficiency.
  • Look for a good warranty. We can help you select an air conditioner replacement with a great warranty, and we offer the maintenance service that’s usually needed to keep that warranty valid.
  • Rebates and incentives are always nice. We will let you know about any specials, rebates or incentives being offered. Often, you’ll find incentives through your utility company as well when you acquire a high-efficiency air conditioner replacement.
