Denver, CO: With summer just around the corner, homeowners are faced with the burning question: What factors should you consider when choosing an air conditioner? To help customers navigate the vast array of AC options for homes, industry veterans Jim Sanders and Dan Johnson of Sanders & Johnson, Denver’s trusted family-owned HVAC company, provide a comprehensive air conditioning buyer’s guide.
“Last year, we experienced temperatures as high as 101 degrees, so we understand the urgency of finding the best air conditioner,” said Jim Sanders, President of Sanders & Johnson. “Selecting an air conditioning unit can be a more complicated process than homeowners might think. It’s about finding an air conditioner that meets your home’s specific needs, and for some folks, even more importantly, finding an air conditioner that won’t drain your wallet when it comes to energy bills.”
The article explains how the age of your home, square footage, and whether you’re installing an AC unit for the first time versus replacing an existing unit, can all factor into selecting an air conditioning system. Sanders also stressed the importance of paying attention to the unit’s Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER).
“The SEER rating indicates the energy efficiency of the AC unit. The higher the SEER, the more energy-efficient your air conditioner is,” he explained.
In Colorado, the minimum SEER requirement for HVAC is 13, but systems with ratings as high as 25 are available. Although higher SEER units may be slightly more expensive up front, the article explains how long-term energy savings make them a worthwhile investment.
Dan Johnson, Vice President of Sanders & Johnson, also highlighted the importance of seeking added value features that enhance comfort.
“While all air conditioners can provide cool air, it’s the small details that make a difference,” Johnson emphasized. “Does the unit have an energy-saving mode that activates once it reaches the desired temperature? Is it quiet enough to run while you sleep? Good air filtering and humidity control are also essential for maintaining a healthy environment.”
With a plethora of options to give you the best cooling experience, it’s clear that newer air conditioning systems have more to offer than just improved energy efficiency. Once you’ve selected an air conditioning system, Johnson also stressed the importance of professional air conditioner installation.
“Whether you end up choosing a central air conditioner or a compact mini-split, professional installation is crucial. It ensures optimal performance, minimizes energy waste, and prevents common issues that could lead to unnecessary replacement or repairs down the line,” he said.
With this air conditioner buying guide, Sanders & Johnson reaffirms the company’s commitment to assisting homeowners in Colorado in making informed decisions to create comfortable and energy-efficient homes.
