Bartlett Heating and Air Has Things to Consider When Buying a New AC

Is your air conditioner constantly breaking down? Is it over 10 years old? Air conditioners have made a lot of improvements over time, so replacing your old one for a new one is a great idea. If your air conditioner is getting up there in age and you are thinking of replacing it, there are a few things you should consider before doing so. Here are some things to look into when considering your new AC purchase. One is to look at the direction your home is facing. It affects the heat gain your home has daily which has to be taken in account to make sure your home can cool like you need it. Knowing the amount of heat gain you get during the days in the summer will let Bartlett Heating and Air determine how much cooling your home needs. You should look at how much insulation your home has. Insulation keeps warm air in the home during the winter but it can also keep the cool air inside during the summer too. You have to look at your duct work that is already in your home. If any of it is broken or missing it needs to be replaced before you install a new system. The duct work is what delivers the conditioned air throughout your home so you want to make sure none of it gets lost because of leaks and breaks. That only wastes money. Your floor plan has a lot to do with what kind of air conditioner you need. An open floor plan needs different air flow than a home that has more closed off rooms. Square footage of your home is important and used in the calculation to measure how much cooling you need so have that ready for the technician when they come to give you a quote. These are all things that Bartlett Heating and Air take into consideration when giving you a quote. We give free installation estimates so call us today!
