Ask any real estate agent what’s the number two selling feature for a home (aside from “location”) and they’ll probably tell you “central air.” But there is a drawback with central air and that’s those crazy electric bills. Unless it is a really efficient “smart” form of central air you’ll have no choice but to cool off the entire house even if you’re basically just using the living room and your bedroom. Believe it or not, you’ll find many folks who have a home with central air that opt for a unit air conditioner for a single room use. Sure, they’ll crank up the central AC when company comes over but for the most part it makes better economical sense to just keep a single unit running.
If you’re someone who enjoys the benefits of a unit air conditioner then you know how important an appliance that is especially on days when the thermometer outdoors rises and that’s just what has been happening this summer. A lot of ACs have been working overtime. Depending on how old those units are there could be some serious wear and tear on those appliances which might lead to thoughts of replacement. If you’re in the market for a new air conditioner then you’ll want to take into account some buying suggestions. Even swapping out an old model for a new model in the same window might not be the best use of that unit.
First of all, you should measure the room you want to get cool. That measurement is going to determine how powerful an AC you should be looking at. It might be that you really need to bump up your BTU output. The goal is to make sure your AC can circulate air in a room or two. That cool air isn’t going to go around corners or down a long hallway. You’ll also want to measure the window that the unit will be going into even if you’ve had a unit there for years think about starting from scratch.
Because you’re using a unit that will be running for long hours you’ll also want to look into an EnergyStar rated model and one that has warranties. An EnergyStar label will let you know that the model is meeting all the requirements put forth by the EPA about energy efficiency. It’s going to be the model that will lower your costs. As for warranties, this is not an appliance you want to take chances that it won’t work.
The other consideration to make is what to do with the old unit. That’s where a single call to Junk King Sacramento can solve the problem.
