There are a number of things to consider when choosing a central air conditioner for your home, but the most important factors include:
Size - When determining the size of your AC, bigger is not necessarily better. Purchasing a unit that is too large for your home can have negative effects on the unit, causing it to cycle more often and not last as long. Consequently, units that are too small to cool your house will not be able to keep up with demand. A good contractor will be able to help you determine what size AC will work best for your home.
SEER Value vs Performance - SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, indicates how energy efficient an AC unit is. While an AC can rate very high for energy efficiency, it could also rank low for performance and reliability. A good contractor will be able to help you determine the best model and SEER rating for your home.
