How to Choose the Best A/C System for your Home

Choosing a new air conditioning system is a big decision. With so many options available, here’s how to narrow it down.

Size Matters

An AC system that’s too small won’t keep up with Florida’s heat. One that’s too large will cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to dehumidify properly. A Manual J load calculation determines the right size for your home.

Efficiency Ratings

Look for systems with high SEER2 ratings. Higher ratings mean lower energy costs. Today’s best systems offer SEER2 ratings above 20.

Consider Variable Speed

Variable speed systems are more efficient, quieter, and better at controlling humidity than single-stage units — important advantages in Florida.
