Help Dad Save Money This Father’s Day With a New AC
The best gift to give dad this Father’s Day is another way to save money. With summer quickly approaching, one of the best ways to do this is with a new air conditioning unit. As it grows warmer outside, air conditioners become a necessity rather than a luxury within the home. Since the air conditioner is an essential appliance in the home, it must function properly.
If the unit breaks down regularly or has exceeded its recommended lifespan, it may be time to consider replacing it.
A Happy and Healthy Home
Air conditioners are meant to create a healthy environment within the home–free of allergens and dust. But this only happens if the air conditioner is taken care of. Neglecting necessary maintenance on an air conditioner can affect its ability to filter the air and keep the home healthy. Air conditioners that are not maintained or past their recommended lifespan can harbor moisture.
They can also attract and hold allergens and collect mold, which blows back into the home. This exposes the residents to toxins and can result in respiratory issues. The best way to prevent these issues is to remember to perform the maintenance the air conditioner requires to function. It is also vital to replace the unit when recommended by a technician. New systems can prevent these health issues and last longer than older ones.
Better Days and Better Nights
Studies have proven that temperature plays a big role in our productivity and sleep. The optimal temperature for productivity is between 70 and 73 degrees, while the optimal temperature for sleep is between 60 and 67 degrees. With many people working from home now, it is even more important that the home air conditioner can accommodate temperatures for productivity and sleep.
If the air conditioner is not able to cool to the degree it needs to, it may be time to replace the unit with one that meets the needs of the home. It is also important to make sure the unit is the right size for the home. It will not cool the area if it is too small and could even result in the air conditioner breaking down.
Energy Efficiency
The biggest benefit to a new air conditioner is the potential for an energy-efficient model. Air conditioning systems are responsible for half of a home’s monthly energy bill. New air conditioners can lower that bill by a significant margin. Air conditioners are evaluated and given a SEER rating (Seasonal Energy Ratio). High SEER ratings mean the unit is efficient and can save money. Most states require air conditioners to have a SEER rating of 13 or above.
