How a New A/C Installation Can Lower Your Energy Bills

The summer heat can make your Central Connecticut energy bills skyrocket, especially if you have an air conditioning system that is 10-15 years old. Older equipment typically must work harder to keep your home cool, which means using more energy and driving up your energy costs. Upgrading to a high-efficiency system is one of the best ways to stay comfortable all season long while keeping your cooling bills under control.

What Makes New A/C Systems So Efficient?

New A/C systems are built with the newest technology, which means they are designed to work better than the models that came before them. These systems have higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings, with the latest standard being a SEER2 rating.

Some of the ways that new A/C systems have been improved to achieve higher SEER2 ratings include:

• Variable-speed compressors
• Variable-speed fan motors
• Eco-friendly refrigerants
• Upgraded coils and heat exchanger designs
• Smart thermostat capability

The type of system you choose can also boost efficiency. For example, central A/C systems can offer cost savings when paired with smart thermostats and properly sealed ductwork, while ductless mini-split systems provide zoned cooling for precise temperature control for every room or “zone” you have an indoor unit.
