Energy Efficiency For Your Home's Air Conditioning

One of the most important benefits of a new air conditioning system are the considerable energy efficiency savings of the latest technology. Discover how you can save:

HIGH EFFICIENCY AIR CONDITIONING: The latest high efficiency systems can almost halve the running costs of older systems, which can make for energy savings you can enjoy year after year. The efficiency of air conditioning systems is expressed as its SEER rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), and the higher the rating the more efficient the system. So for example a 19.5 SEER Trane XL19i would have almost half the running costs of a typical 15 year old 10.5 SEER system.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATIONS: The EPA stresses that professional installations from expert air conditioning contractors is vital to realize these efficiency savings. The SEER rating is a laboratory rating, it requires expert planning and installation to realize those efficiencies in your actual home. Best Air Conditioning is fully licensed and insured, and is already the trusted choice in thousands of SW Florida homes for over 30 years.

HOME ZONING: Another way to save is to consider home zoning, which can enable everyone in the home to select their own preferred comfort level. Best of all, if there's a part of the home which is used less, or at particular parts of the day, that zone can be run on a lower setting to save energy. For example, you could run cooling lightly in only the bedrooms at night, but turn off the unused living areas. Or during the day, you could leave cooling the bedrooms until later on.

DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS: One of the simplest ways to save is with a digital programmable thermostat. It can schedule your home's cooling so that it only runs when its needed. For example rather than having to cool your home all day, it could be programmed to turn on shortly before you're due to return, saving on energy.
