Upgrading Your A/C Unit: Is an Upgrade Right for You?

If your A/C unit is over the hill, it may be time for an upgrade. Upgrading can improve your home’s cooling and reduce your electricity bill by 47%-60% (Source: Energy Star and American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning). The ideal time to upgrade is now, before temperatures really heat up.

Is an upgrade right for me?

An upgrade is ideal if your current unit:

• Is over 15 years of age.
• Uses R22 Freon (this older Freon is being phased out due to environmental concerns).
• Has a SEER rating below 11.

If any of these are true, upgrading will be worthwhile.

What are the benefits of upgrading?

Switching to a new unit can improve overall comfort within your home by providing more effective heating/cooling and quieter operation. Upgrading can substantially reduce your operating costs and help protect the environment by phasing out the R22 Freon that depletes the ozone. Data shows that you may even able to reduce your electricity bill by 47%-60% (Source: Energy Star and American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning).
