Things to Consider When Replacing Your Air Conditioner

June 01, 2017

Even with thorough AC maintenance, the time comes when every air conditioner needs to be replaced. We comprehend that annual maintenance will prolong an AC’s lifespan, but when the time arises, the pros at Luikart Heating & Cooling will be here to help you get the best air conditioner replacement for your home’s needs in Newark. When you’re looking for a new air conditioner, there are many factors to consider and we’ll help you navigate them all to find the system that will be best for your home and your budget.

One feature all of us look for in an AC replacement is dependability. Selecting the right AC and keeping it well-maintained should give you years of efficient, comfortable service from it. Here are some 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 small system to save some costs upfront. However, a smaller system can create more costs in the long run if it’s too small to keep your home cool. It will run consistently to try to keep up and will have a significantly shortened life. You’ll pay more on utility bills during its life and you’ll discover yourself AC shopping again much sooner than you would prefer. We can help you decide the appropriate sized air conditioner for your home.
  • Ratings matter. Select the most efficient air conditioner your budget will allow for, because you’ll realize 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 choose 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 purchase a high-efficiency air conditioner replacement.
