How to Choose the Right A/C Unit
When deciding on a new a/c system to install, or replacing an old air conditioner, make sure you find the best air conditioner for your home with these important HVAC tips.
Updating an outdated a/c unit? Need a better air conditioning system for your home or office?
When replacing or repairing your a/c, there are a few questions to ask to determine the best a/c for your Florida room or building.
- What is the volume of space you’re looking to condition?
- What is the size and condition of your existing ductwork?
- What is the ceiling height and shape?
- Where are your windows oriented and how are they constructed?
- What is the level of occupancy in your space?
- What is the level and quality of current insulation?
Once you consider these 6 factors, you can begin to identify your specific heating and cooling needs and find the right air conditioning system for your a/c replacement or a/c installation.
Which is a better cooling system for your Florida home: Heat Pump or Furnace?
Typically, heat pumps or straight cool units are favored in the Greater Tampa Bay area, however in some regions of Florida, a furnace may be more efficient for heating loads.
In our 12 years of experience helping with heating and cooling in Florida, we find that if you live in Central Florida, particularly Ocala and surrounding areas, a furnace is the popular choice between the two.
Every floorplan and space is unique, so there really is no one solution that works for everyone when it comes to buying and installing the right an a/c unit.
What makes the difference is finding an HVAC company you can trust to repair and properly maintain that new air conditioner, saving you money for years to come.
