Top AC Installation in St. Petersburg
An AC that’s too big or too small will likely result in higher energy bills, among other issues. Because of that, the first step in air conditioner installation in St. Petersburg is a load calculation. It’s a calculation the industry uses to determine how much cooling output you need. The industry measures ACs in either BTUs or tonnage. To determine that number, we must factor in square footage, ceiling height, and floor plan. We must also consider the location of the home and its building envelope.
Once you know the size needed, you can explore the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2). SEER2 measures the cooling efficiency of ducted ACs over an entire summer. If an AC has a higher SEER2 rating than another, you know that it will be more efficient. The minimum SEER2 rating in this region for most central ACs, as set by the Department of Energy, is 14.3. Though that’s the minimum, you can find ACs in the higher teens and even the 20s.
Noise output may be a consideration depending on where you install the system. A typical AC produces anywhere between 40 and 60 decibels, which is comparable to a refrigerator humming. Systems with variable-speed blowers tend to be quieter. There are also installation options, including padding, that can make an AC quieter.
It’s also a good idea to upgrade to a smart thermostat. The right choice can lower your cooling costs by 8% on average. You can also select more thorough features like scheduling and occupancy sensing. Other energy-saving features to consider include zone control and energy monitoring.
There are many excellent reasons to invest in a new AC.
