What You Need To Know About Air Conditioning Systems

THE RIGHT SIZE SYSTEM
When buying a home comfort system, selecting the right size is crucial. An air conditioner that is too small just cannot get the job done. A system that is too large will cool your home quickly, but you still may not feel comfortable, because it will satisfy the thermostat before it can adequately remove sufficient moisture from the air.

Wilson Brothers H.V.A.C., Inc. can help you determine the right size system for your home comfort needs. We will start by conducting an energy analysis of your home. We'll measure the windows, check the insulation, ductwork, and building materials, plus other things that can directly affect system size. Then, we'll help you select a system that fits your particular lifestyle and home comfort needs.

It's also important to choose high quality equipment. We install only the highest rated a/c equipment available today.


 

A High Efficiency Rating Makes Dollars and Sense

Photo If your current air conditioner is more than 10 years old, it could be as low as a 6.00 SEER. Compare the estimated annual cooling bill of a 6.00 SEER system to that of a new system with a higher SEER such as American Standard's 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 14.00 or 18.00. For instance, if the annual cooling bill of a 6.00 SEER system was $1000, it could potentially cost only $333 for an 18.00 SEER system, or an annual savings of 67%. Now, that makes dollars and sense, doesn't it?
