A new air conditioner is wonderful because it is working its best and cooling your home just the way you expect. In fact, all new air conditioners come with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). This rating tells you how much cooling power your air conditioner produces compared to the amount of energy it uses.
But over time, the parts take on wear and tear and begin to work less efficiently and that SEER number decreases. It can happen so slowly that you may not notice the efficiency loss until it is significant. If you live in Layton and need air conditioning service, we can help. Keep in mind that you have some control over maintaining your AC’s efficiency.
With summer slowly but surely coming to an end in another month or so, your air conditioner has put in a lot of work. So, what if you noticed it wasn’t quite performing as well as you think it should, or as efficiently as it once did? It’s possible you need a repair, but if you have an aging system and you’ve already had numerous repairs, you may instead be considering a replacement.
