An aging AC system is often more trouble than it’s worth. You’re likely spending more on repairs and energy compared to the cost of simply buying a new model altogether. And given the variety of modern features there are take advantage of, upgrading simply makes for the better choice.
Here are some of the innovations that will make any of today’s new air conditioners a great choice for your home:
Improved Efficiency and Control With Inverter Technology
Traditional AC systems rely on a compressor that runs on an alternating current. In other words, they’re either on or off with no in between, which is why your AC runs in cycles. Many newer HVAC systems, in contrast, use inverters, which take alternating current power and change it to direct current.
That allows for a compressor that operates at variable speeds, which, in turn, means your system can run at different cooling levels instead of cycling on and off. The result is a more consistent temperature in addition to improved efficiency.
Cooling for Any Property With Ductless Mini Splits
When considering new air conditioners for your home, you should also take a close look at ductless mini splits. These systems provide cooling without the need for ductwork by way of multiple interior units spread across cooling zones in your home.
Ductless mini splits can be installed just about anywhere, so if you have a home without existing ductwork, a home addition, a garage, or a workshop that needs cooling, they could be the perfect choice.
Heating and Cooling With Heat Pump Systems
You can also choose to tackle both cooling and heating by choosing a modern heat pump to act as the foundation for your new HVAC system. These devices work similarly to traditional AC systems, with the key difference being that they can reverse their refrigerant cycle to provide heating as well.
If you have an existing central air system, a heat pump can likely replace both your AC and furnace, serving as either an auxiliary or backup heating source for your home. Heat pumps are the most efficient electrical heating available, saving up to 75% compared to electric resistance heating.
Improved Control With Smart Thermostats
Lastly, in your efforts to establish a newer HVAC system, you should consider installing a modern smart thermostat as well. These devices work with new air conditioners to maximize comfort and efficiency for your home. You can set schedules and even control your HVAC system remotely using a mobile app.
A smart thermostat can limit your system while you’re out or during sleep and kick in to return to the ideal temperature. You’ll reduce your energy use without compromising the comfort of your home or needing to make manual adjustments.
