To ensure you choose the right AC unit, Sunset Air, your trusted AC Company, offers 12 key factors for review. In part 1, we will cover the first five factors.

Proper sizing is critical for an AC unit to effectively cool your space.

An undersized unit will struggle to meet your cooling needs, while an oversized unit could lead to inefficient operation and improper dehumidification.

Consult with your AC Company to help you determine the appropriate size AC for your home.

Energy Efficiency Is A Factor To Review Before Purchasing An AC Unit

Selecting an energy-efficient AC unit can help you save money on your monthly energy bill.

For maximum efficiency, look for units with a higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, as they consume less energy while providing ideal cooling performance.

Cost Is A Factor To Review Before Purchasing An AC Unit

Consider your budget. Be sure to weigh it against the long-term benefits and energy savings offered by the AC unit.

Keep in mind your AC Company should have a selection of top-quality energy efficient units from which to choose. Some may cost more upfront but typically pay for themselves over their lifespan.

Regular maintenance is key for prolonging the lifespan and maintaining the efficiency of your AC unit.

Age Is A Factor To Review Before Purchasing An AC Unit

If your current AC unit is over 10 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement. Older units tend to be less energy-efficient and prone to breakdowns, resulting in higher maintenance costs.
