With summer officially here, we’re going to assume that if you’ve come upon a blog post about AC installation, you’re likely in a bit of a rush to get one in your home. Maybe your old system broke down, or perhaps you’ve never had central air conditioning and have decided to make the upgrade. Either way, we commend your decision—but do want to discourage you from rushing!
The thing is, too many homeowners rush into their air conditioner purchases and/or installation without really thinking through all the considerations there are to make. The AC you choose should perfectly fit your home and specific needs. Without adequate installation, you could wind up with an air conditioner that works inefficiently throughout its entire lifespan, breaks down early, or has numerous repair issues.
There’s one factor in particular that’s missed when homeowners don’t invest in professional AC installation. That’s the size of their air conditioner and the difference that makes to efficiency and performance. Read on to learn more!
If not, there’s no need to worry—it’s not too late!
Do you know what it takes to keep your air conditioner running as best it can, while also keeping your energy bills low and not sacrificing comfort? There are a number of factors that play a role in this, actually. Professional installation is vital, first off. Only a professional will know how to adequately size a new system for your home, and properly install it so you don’t have any operational problems right away.
When folks hear the term “indoor air quality,” they often think about the temperature of their living space. This is certainly part of good indoor air quality, but not all of it! If you’ve lived in this area for even just a year, you know that humidity is a problem. Your air conditioner does have some dehumidification properties, but not enough to truly make a difference.
If you’re at all familiar with air conditioning maintenance schedules, which we hope you are if you’ve had a cooling system for at least a year, then you know that the typical schedule we recommend is that you have a tune-up each year. The reason for this is that the system needs annual cleaning and adjusting, as well as an inspection to check for repair needs.
Air conditioners are complex systems that rely on a number of various components in order to function. If something goes wrong with even one of these components, it can bring your cooling efficiency and effectiveness to a halt. This is why we recommend calling a trained HVAC professional at the first sign of trouble.
Your air conditioner can be both the cause of and the victim of poor indoor air quality, but it doesn’t have to be either!

Having your HVAC systems tuned-up right before you’ll need them the most is a great strategy!
