Things to Consider When Replacing Your Air Conditioner

June 01, 2017

Even with careful AC maintenance, the time comes when every air conditioner needs to be replaced. We comprehend that annual maintenance will extend an AC’s lifespan, but when the time arises, the experts at Gilray Heating and Cooling will be here to help you get the best air conditioner replacement for your home’s needs in Wausau. When you’re searching for a new air conditioner, there are several factors to consider and we’ll help you navigate them all to select the system that will be appropriate for your home and your budget.

One feature all of us look for in an AC replacement is dependability. Getting the right AC and keeping it well-maintained should give you years of efficient, comfortable service from it. Here are several other important factors to take into consideration:

  • Make sure your AC replacement is the correct size for your home. A system that is larger than necessary will cycle on and off too frequently, leading to wear and tear on your new system and reducing its life. Likewise, it can be tempting to buy a littler system to save some money upfront. But, a smaller system can create more costs in the long run if it’s too small to keep your house cool. It will run consistently to try to keep up and will have a noticeably shortened life. You’ll pay more on energy bills during its life and you’ll discover yourself AC shopping again much sooner than you’d like. 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 realize the payback every month on your energy bills. 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 keep you in the know about any specials, rebates or incentives being offered. Regularly, you’ll find incentives through your utility company as well when you purchase a high-efficiency air conditioner replacement.
