Benefits of a New Air Conditioning System

A new air conditioning system will keep your Dothan, AL, home safe and comfortable during the hotter months in Alabama. It will also run more efficiently and potentially lower your energy bills.

Older air conditioning units tend to run longer and use more electricity. A new air conditioner, especially a variable-speed model, uses less electricity, saving you money.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Unit Last?

Your air conditioning system might turn on and off, but that does not mean you are getting the best value for your money in terms of comfort and energy savings. Central air conditioners lose efficiency as they age.

Parts wear out, and air conditioning repairs are more frequent.

As your air conditioning unit struggles to maintain efficiency, it uses more energy and increases electricity spending. More frequent repairs will have you opening your wallet again and again.

Well-maintained central air conditioners can last 10 to 15 years before they slow down, although ENERGY STAR® recommends setting a replacement budget for a unit “more than 10 years old.”

Understanding SEER2 Ratings

SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2, a rating that measures a cooling system’s energy efficiency. The higher the SEER2 number, the greater the energy efficiency.

Different parts of the country have different rating standards based on the climate and how hot it gets outdoors. For example, new central air conditioners must have a minimum 13.4 SEER2 rating in the northern states and 14.3 in the southwest.

How Long Does Air Conditioner Installation Take?

Our licensed air conditioning installers at Southeastern Cooling, Heating, and Plumbing typically have a new system in service in under one day. The installation may take a bit longer if we need to extend ductwork or do a little extra to facilitate the best use of your new energy-efficient air conditioner.

When Is the Best Time to Buy a New Air Conditioner?

Early spring or fall is the best time to call for new air conditioning installation with little wait. But any time you need one is the best answer. We can install a new air conditioner throughout the year in your Dothan, AL, home.

Also, if you need a new heating system, replacing your cooling system at the same time is generally more cost-effective in terms of installation costs and vice versa.

“fan that pushed the air into the house would quit, then cool off and restart. they discussed the options of repair cost, versus cost of a new unit based on age (20.5) years old and what else could go wrong, they gave me a replacement cost at a very good price and had a opening in the install list the next morning and got it installed. This is the fourth unit i have bought from them, they do all my plumbing needs in my houses also. they also do my electrical needs at same time, a very polite group of guys that are trained very well. Jason one the owners is a great guy to work with.”
