How to Choose an Air Conditioner

The correct size and features are critical for cooling efficiency, dehumidification, and overall comfort when selecting a new air conditioning unit. And with so many options available, you may be uncertain of what factors to consider when choosing a new air conditioner. It’s best to evaluate the size of your home, the type of system you’d prefer, whether that be a central AC or ductless unit, as well as energy efficiency ratings when deciding on a new AC unit. You’ll also want to determine what size system you’ll need to adequately cool your space.homeowners with a new air conditioner unit

Many people think that “bigger is better” when choosing an air conditioner, however, your AC must be properly sized to your home, or it won’t cool it efficiently. This is true for air conditioners that are both oversized and undersized. That’s why our Hamilton air conditioner installation team always conducts an analysis to determine the right size air conditioning unit for your property. We’ll ensure your new AC unit is perfectly sized so your bills remain stable and your temperatures remain comfortable.

Air Conditioning FAQs

When should I replace my AC?
Air conditioning is essential in keeping your home cool and comfortable during the warm summer months. Yet, as time passes, even the most reliable AC unit can lose its efficiency. Most air conditioners can last between 15 and 20 years, depending on the type of unit you have, your maintenance history, and how often the system is used. However, even with regular tune-ups and necessary repairs performed, replacement will eventually be required. Therefore, it’s important to watch for any signs that your air conditioner is not performing as it should.
Top 5 Signs It May Be Time to Replace Your AC Unit:

  • Rising energy bills
  • Constant cycling
  • Frequent repairs
  • No cool air at all
  • Hot spots and airflow problems throughout your home

Do new air conditioner systems have upgraded refrigerants?

No new air conditioner systems will use R-410A refrigerant starting in January 2025. Instead, most residential systems will use either R-32 or R-454B refrigerant, both of which have a lower impact on the environment. Learn more about the new Refrigerant Regulations.

What should I consider when choosing the right size air conditioner for my space? 

When selecting the appropriate size air conditioner for your space, it’s crucial to consider factors such as the square footage of the area to be cooled, insulation levels, ceiling height, number of windows, and local climate conditions. An HVAC professional can perform a load calculation to determine the exact cooling capacity needed for optimal comfort and efficiency. 

How long does it typically take to install a new air conditioner system?

The time it takes to install an AC system can vary depending on the complexity of the system, the size of the space, and any additional components required. Generally, a standard installation can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. However, more complex installations or customizations may take longer.

Do I need to replace the entire HVAC system or just the AC unit?

In some cases, replacing just the AC unit is sufficient, especially if the rest of the HVAC system is in good condition. However, if your furnace is also aging or experiencing issues, it may be more cost-effective to consider replacing the entire system for improved compatibility and efficiency.

Can I install an air conditioning system myself, or should I hire a professional?

You should always hire a professional HVAC technician to install your air conditioning system for several reasons. Professional installation ensures proper sizing, correct placement, adherence to safety codes, and optimal performance. Additionally, DIY installation may void warranties and lead to costly repairs down the line.

What maintenance tasks are required after installing a new air conditioner system?

After installing a new air conditioner system, routine AC maintenance is essential to ensure its longevity and efficiency. This includes tasks such as regularly replacing air filters, cleaning coils, inspecting ductwork for leaks, and scheduling professional tune-ups at least once a year.
