The window air conditioning unit was a revelation when it appeared in the 1950s. It made air conditioning easily affordable to residential buildings and homes. But in the decades since, central air conditioning has taken over, and window units are now best used for small apartments.
You may live in a house that must rely on AC units because it lacks a central heating and cooling system. We’ll explain why we don’t recommend continuing to use these window ACs.
We’re glad that you’re thinking about the SEER rating already in your quest for a new air conditioning installation in Bulverde, TX. It shows that you’re approaching this important job with the right questions in mind. Choosing a new air conditioner is not as simple as just picking a unit in the right price range or looking for something that is advertised as “high-efficiency.” You have to balance several factors to make sure that the AC unit you end up with can handle your comfort needs without wasting power.
SEER is an efficiency rating used on all refrigerant-based air conditioners, and it’s defined by the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) so it is standardized across all cooling system manufacturers. You probably already know that a higher SEER rating means a unit has better energy efficiency. Now you want to know how much importance to place on SEER in your AC shopping.
Air conditioning units can be too powerful! Not too powerful in the sense that you’re going to start a blizzard in your own home, but in that it can be oversized, which causes it to short cycle, turn off and on again, as well as waste power and not properly cool your home.
When an air conditioner is too powerful, it doesn’t have to run as long to achieve the desired temperature. This results in the unit shutting off sooner, which means it has to turn back on again more frequently. This causes the unit to work harder, which leads to more wear and tear, and can also cause the unit to break down more quickly.
