Things to consider when purchasing central air conditioner for your home

It has been an unusually mild winter, and before you know it spring will be here. If you have been thinking of upgrading or installing a new whole home air conditioning system, now is the time to get the appropriate facts, figures and information you need to make a proper and informed decision.

Now, is when you will get better value for your money, because contractors in the heating and cooling business are not as busy as when the warm weather hits. Contractor off season discounts combined with rebate incentive programs from O.P.A. (Ontario Power Authority) and Manufacturers add up to making now a very compelling reason to buy sooner rather than later.

What factors should I be looking at when having a new whole home cooling system installed in my home?

First and foremost is aligning yourself with a reputable contractor. The quality of workmanship and level of after sale service is paramount. I don’t care how good the product is if it’s not installed right it won’t work right. Also the warranty is only as good as the installing company service department. Look for companies who have been in the business 20+ years, like AireOne.

Secondly, look for brand name products. Manufacturers like Carrier, York, Lennox and Trane are old companies and proven manufacturers. 

Thirdly, be able to compare different models properly. Each major manufacturer offer’s a number of different models to choose from, each having their own different features, benefits and price points. Each models offer different direct energy and natural gas savings.

Lastly, proper sizing is imperative. Bigger is not better when it comes to sizing for home central air conditioning. Any whole home air conditioner does two main functions. Remove heat and remove humidity. Over sizing can result in “quick cycling” or going on and off too quickly. The air conditioner will not be on long enough to remove enough humidity from the air, giving cold clammy air to your home. This can affect the cozy and comfortable feeling in your living area.

With all these factors involved in choosing the right cooling system for your home and family, I can answer any questions you may have in regards to sizing, costs, installation even rebates available for you.
