When selecting an AC unit for your South Florida home, it can feel overwhelming with all the options out in the market. Looking for the best choice that can keep your home cool while also being energy efficient can be a challenge, but there are certain considerations to be on the lookout for. In this first part, we will begin to discuss certain elements to look out for when finding the right AC for your home or other property!
With the intense heat and humidity in South Florida, it is a safe bet to say your unit will be running frequently. With that in mind, a unit that is energy efficient is top priority in order to not have an absurd energy bill.
One rating to consider is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating that will be listed with units. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient the unit is. To go along with this, a unit with a programmable thermostat can help your bill by setting cooling schedules to match your lifestyle, reducing unnecessary energy use.
