Energy efficiency, aside from remaining cool, is one of the most important features that homeowners search for today in an air conditioner. Heating and cooling fees make up nearly half of every homeowner’s total utility bills, so remaining energy efficient doesn’t only elongate the life of your system and help the planet, but it could also aid your wallet. Whether you are looking to replace your air conditioner or just obtain the optimum efficiency out of your current system, energy efficiency can impact your comfort.

There are many features and items to look for in an air conditioner to know that it is as energy efficient as possible:

  1. SEER ratings – Every single air conditioner has a SEER rating, and it acknowledges the efficiency of your system. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio; the higher the SEER rating, the better the efficiency and the lower your utility costs could be. For every air conditioner manufactured after 2015, the government has mandated a minimum SEER rating reliant on your region, so newer systems offer a better route when it comes to efficiency. So, if you are looking for a new air conditioner with our experts at Temp Air System Inc. or simply checking the SEER rating of your present system, having the number can provide you with some important information.
  2. Air filters – Changing the air filter in your air conditioner is a simple, but important way to enhance efficiency. Dirty air filters cause your system to work harder than it should to keep you cool. Not only can a fresh air filter help you have a system operating more efficiently, but it can also keep your indoor air clean.
  3. Annual maintenance – This has most likely been drilled into your head multiple times from us, but we can’t push how important ongoing check-ups are for your system. Our experts will examine electrical components, clean your unit and identify any potential problems before they become bigger issues, potentially impacting the efficiency of your unit.
