Avoid the common homeowner mistake of waiting too long to schedule AC replacement in Simpsonville, SC. Tuck & Howell, Inc. certainly understands wanting to get as much life as possible out of your AC unit.
The problem is that old air conditioners tend to be inefficient and expensive to run. The money you think you’re saving putting off AC installation is often lost to a higher electricity bill and HVAC repairs. A new system may cost you a bit more upfront, but it’s going to save you money over the next 15 to 20 years.
"I am very pleased with the professionalism demonstrated from the initial call all the way through the onsite service representative experience. It is an easy decision to rely on Tuck and Howell every year for my service needs."
The other factor to consider when it comes to a new AC installation in Simpsonville is technological advancement. The major AC brands have invested a lot in reducing the carbon footprint of their air conditioners. These improvements are so notable that the EPA recently revised the SEER standards.
All new units will now have a SEER2 rating. The new minimum for South Carolina is 15 SEER or 14.3 SEER2 for both air conditioners and heat pumps. That means that most of the air conditioners available to you will have ENERGY STAR certification.
That not only provides peace of mind about energy efficiency but may also make you eligible for the federal tax credit in addition to local energy rebates.
Cooling replacement is also an opportunity to meet the current comfort needs of your household. Budget and square footage are factors, but a technician will also consider the house’s insulation level and your preferred temperature setting in the summer.
There are several air conditioning options to consider. If your home already has ductwork, then a central air conditioner is typically the most efficient choice.
If you lack ductwork, you can opt for a ductless air conditioner or mini-split instead. In either case, you also have the option of adding zoning. Zoning is a great investment that can reduce your long-term costs even further.
Watch for signs that you need AC replacement:
Rising energy costs
Aging equipment
Frequent repairs
Short-cycling
Hot or cold spots
Unusual noises or unpleasant smells
