Air Conditioning Replacement in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

A new air conditioner is a significant investment that will be with your home for the next ten to 15 years. Operating costs, cooling requirements for your home, and budget are all important things to consider. Brand and model reputation and life expectancy are also big things to think about.

Because there are so many things to consider, we recommend working directly with experts in the HVAC industry when you are considering replacing your air conditioning system. We at AccuTemp want to help you find the best A/C system for you and your budget in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Choosing a Replacement Air Conditioner

How large is your home? You’ll want to choose an AC that will be efficient for your square footage. An air conditioner that is too small or too big will affect the unit’s efficiency and your energy bill.

Air conditioners have an efficiency rating system that goes up to 25 SEER. The higher the SEER rating, the more expensive the unit. Air conditioners built ten to 15 years ago typically have a SEER rating of between eight and ten. A new air conditioner unit can save you as much as 20 to 40 percent of your energy costs. New air conditioners are required to meet a minimum SEER rating of 13, with the highest falling between 13 and 21.

SEER ratings are not the only thing that affects an air conditioner’s efficiency. Ductwork and your home’s insulation also significantly affect the system’s efficiency. You shouldn’t necessarily shy away from an air conditioner with a SEER rating of 13 or 14. It is best to talk to an HVAC expert and see what options might be best for you.
