Not quite sure if you want to buy a new AC this summer? There are a lot of benefits to installing a new air conditioner \u2014 particularly if the unit you currently have is 10+ years old. Here are some reasons why a new AC may be good for you, especially if you\u2019re going to be cooped inside this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"5<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. They\u2019re a lot quieter.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New units are designed to run more smoothly and efficiently than the older ones. That means the loud rattling and heavy breathing of your current unit will be replaced by the softest hum. Have you ever caught yourself complaining about a person who breathes heavily? Just because you occasionally have to tolerate it from your spouse doesn\u2019t mean you have to tolerate it from your HVAC system. You can have peace and quiet with your comfort \u2014 you don\u2019t have to choose between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. They\u2019re more energy efficient, which means you\u2019ll have a lower energy bill.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your current air conditioner has a SEER rating<\/a> (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) of 13 or lower, you could save a lot of money on your energy bill by upgrading. Units now have SEER ratings as high as 23. You\u2019d be surprised by how much money you can save by upgrading to a new air conditioner, especially when you calculate your savings over the lifespan of the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Your home will be more comfortable.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This benefit might be our favorite. Air conditioning has come a long way in the last two decades. Current units are far more powerful and efficient than their older counterparts. So long as your new air conditioner is sized appropriately for your home, a new AC will have an easy time keeping you cool and comfortable, even on the hottest days of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Your home\u2019s air will be cleaner.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You already know that the air inside your home is 2-5 times worse<\/a> than the air outside. But it doesn\u2019t have to be. Newer air conditioners come with better filtration technology, so the dust, pollen and mold making its way inside doesn\u2019t build up and circulate endlessly through your home. Older systems don\u2019t provide nearly the same ventilation or purification that new systems do. And if you\u2019re really worried about your home\u2019s air quality, you can always invest in an air purification system to keep it fresh all day and all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. They\u2019re more environmentally friendly.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to using less energy, new air conditioners also have more eco-friendly refrigerant. A lot of old air conditioners use refrigerants that have been phased out for various reasons. For instance, R-22 freon creates ozone. Newer units use refrigerants that are less harsh on the environment, and they’re cheaper to refill. That means you don\u2019t have to feel bad about running your AC around the clock on hot days and giving it regular maintenance to extend its life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
