Before hiring an Heating and A/C contractor to update the air conditioner in our house, I did a lot of research.
I’ve had some exhausting experiences with professional contractors and tend to not totally trust them.
With such a large investment, I was unwilling to just hope I got our money’s worth. I decided to look into the weird makes and models of air conditioners on the market. I study client reviews and studied the latest options in air conditioning system technology. There are now models that achieve a 26 SEER because of adaptable speed compressors. Instead of blasting at 100% capacity until reaching the thermostat setting and then shutting down, modern component is able to adapt output to the exact requirements of the indoor conditions. The method can adjust in tiny a single percent increments anywhere between forty and a single hundred percent capacity. Most often, the component operates at lower speeds. It maintains a more consistent indoor temperature and uses a lot less energy. There are also models that allow for zoned control and wireless thermostats. I wanted all of these benefits. I also figured out how to properly size the air conditioner for the demands of our home. I hoped to avoid paying more for an oversized unit or dealing with the problems of a unit too small to keep up with requirements. Once I knew exactly which model to order, I reached out to the Heating and A/C contractor and busy a date for installation. When the contractors showed up and started the process, I realized they’d brought the wrong model of air conditioner. They seemed surprised when I was unwilling to accept this cheaper alternative. It wasn’t even built by the manufacturer I’d chosen.
