Air conditioning systems in Central Florida are run almost year-round to keep our homes comfortable. Do you ever wonder how much money you could be saving on your utility bill if you had a higher efficiency air conditioning system?
If your home air conditioning and heating system was installed before the year 2002, we recommend you start planning on replacing your current system with a new, high-efficiency air conditioning system. A new, high efficiency system will consume much less energy and cost you less to effectively cool and heat your home.
Air conditioning systems are rated using a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The higher the SEER rating of a system, the more energy efficient the system is. The current minimum rating for a new air conditioning system is 13 SEER. Our Energy Efficiency Savings Comparison guide will allow you to see the potential savings of replacing your old system with a high efficiency system.
Use our handy comparison guide to see how much money you could save with a new air conditioning system.
