Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the right size air conditioner for my space?
Calculate roughly 20 BTUs per square foot for basic sizing, but also consider ceiling height, insulation quality, number of windows, sun exposure, and local climate. Rooms with high ceilings, poor insulation, or significant sun exposure may need 25-30 BTUs per square foot.
What's the difference between EER and SEER ratings?
EER measures efficiency at a specific temperature (usually 95°F), while SEER measures seasonal efficiency across varying temperatures. SEER gives a more realistic picture of year-long performance, but EER is useful for comparing peak performance.
Do I need professional installation?
Window units and portable air conditioners typically don't require professional installation. Central air systems and ductless mini-splits usually need professional installation for proper refrigerant handling, electrical connections, and warranty coverage.
How often should I maintain my air conditioner?
Replace or clean filters monthly during heavy use, clean exterior coils annually, and schedule professional maintenance yearly for central systems. Regular maintenance improves efficiency, extends unit life, and maintains air quality.
