Why Replacing Your Air Conditioner Can Reduce Your Electricity Bills

In many areas of of North America, central air conditioning is crucial to insure your loved ones’ comfort during the hot summer months. Unfortunately, using your air conditioner is typically the largest expense on your monthly energy bills. 

The secret to reducing your ongoing charges could be to get a new, high-efficiency air conditioner. In the past, this required a big upfront investment. At this point in time, there new solutions available that make buying an up-to-date, high-efficiency air conditioner in your house easier than ever. 

We’ll give you more details about this possibility in a moment. But one thing is right, a a new, high-efficiency air conditioner can deliver sizeable energy savings during its lifetime. Here’s what to consider as you research air conditioning replacement in the U.S.. 

Why a Bigger SEER Rating is Beneficial

Every air conditioner gets a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which grades how efficiently it transforms electricity into cooling. Higher 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 States. If you are the South, your new air conditioner must be at a baseline of 14 SEER. 

For contrast, the minimum standard in the 1990s was 10 SEER, and premium air conditioners available today are around 25 SEER. The Lennox Energy Calculator shows that enhancing your 10 SEER system to a mid-grade 16 SEER model could save you 38% on your electricity bills every year! 

Why Determining Your Air Conditioner’s Size Matters

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

Cooling systems are rated in “tons.” Sizing is essential because an air conditioner that’s too massive or tiny can’t keep your residence comfy. 

An air conditioner that’s too massive will often short cycle, which means it will have difficulty removing humidity properly. One that’s too small will lag behind demand on hot days. Both troubles will you’re your home too humid, increase wear and tear on your air conditioner and might increase your utility expenses.

More Methods to Improve Your Residence’s Efficiency

The final method to confirm monthly savings when you get a new air conditioner is to enhance your house’s attic insulation. Merely 10% of houses in the U.S. have adequate attic insulation, according to study completed by Boston University. Having the proper depth of insulation can help keep your utility expenses low and keep your house more comfy regardless of temperatures outside. 

In addition, we recommend sealing any air leaks in your residence before we carry out an AC sizing calculation. A less leaky, more insulated house may require a smaller air conditioner, saving you on your upfront investment and potentially decreasing your utility bills down the road.
