Air Conditioner Replacement
Installed correctly, a new air conditioner can cut utility expenses while improving comfort.
Air Conditioner Replacement Background
Systems for heating and cooling your home use more energy and cost more money than any other system in your home—typically over 50% of your utility bill. High-efficiency air conditioners such as variable-speed systems save energy and last longer. However, a quality installation is integral to a well-performing system. Nearly half of all heating and cooling systems in U.S. homes are not installed to the manufacturer’s instructions and thus perform below rated capacity and efficiency.
