| Efforts to stabilize the indoor temperature in your home may tax out your old central air conditioning system before long. You will need people skilled at heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to determine for you whether it’s time to replace your cooling system for a newer and more efficient one. Home Tips contributor Dan Vandervort said an upgrade can give you more value for your money.
The emphasis on an upgrade of the central air cannot be discounted in a place like Minnesota. Temperatures in the Land of 10,000 Lakes begin warming up around the high 40s in April and gets warmer to 70 degrees in July. Changing weather conditions may even culminate in a sequel to the July 1936 heatwave that saw the mercury crack 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Preparation for Minnesota’s summer weather, therefore, might also include upgrading the central air conditioner system through specialists at HVAC in Woodbury, MN like those from RumpCA Services. Making the Most of it Buying a new central air conditioning unit requires reviewing the existing unit’s Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER), which gives your HVAC tech crew a clue of its expected energy-efficient performance. An evaluation of your house’s insulation and cooling load will aid you in choosing a unit with the right SEER numbers. Some of the older systems have SEER grades of six. The Department of Energy, however, mandates for more recent units to have a minimum SEER of 13, with a SEER rating around the mid-20s as the best of the lot. Modern central air conditioning units feature larger condenser coils, variable-speed blowers, and fan switches that, according to Vandervort, engage the fan while turning off the cooling, to spread the existing cooling load. Two to Tango Replacing the central air conditioning unit alone is only part of the solution. Make sure your furnace is also in full operational status. Your HVAC specialist will recommend stripping the plenum and replacing the evaporator coils with a newer set. This ensures optimum cooling from your new central air conditioner. You might have need to clear out the ductwork for more efficient cooling function. You can never be too sure when your central air conditioning system will give out.
