I need to replace my AC unit. I built the home 15 years ago and I still have the same unit. The unit stopped working in September. I have a 2-story, 2100 sq ft. home and of course I want a good unit for an affordable price.

Did you know that your home air conditioning system could be taking up as much as 60% of your energy bills? Most home owners pay scant attention while buying a residential air conditioner, with the result that they end up with a home AC system that's either too big or too small for their needs. Either way, this leads to inflated energy bills. There are several factors that go into the selection of a proper home air conditioning system. Consider the size of the house, the weather in the area you live in etc.
The proper size of house air conditioning system is critical to achieve high energy efficiency. A home air conditioner that is too large for a room will operate in brief cooling cycles whenever the desired temperature is reached. Not only does this mean energy wastage, because the system keeps switching on and off when the desired temperature is reached, but these shorter cycles fail to remove moisture, increasing humidity and the potential for mold growth. A residential air conditioner that's too small on the other hand, won't be able to coo the room effectively during peak season, effectively, thereby defeating the purpose of installing a home AC. Plus, the system is forced to run continuously to meet the home's cooling needs, thereby inflating your energy bills. Look for a home air conditioner with a higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). These are more expensive, but you'll be able to make up the costs in operating savings.
There are other things that can affect the efficiency of your house air conditioning system. For instance, placement of the AC unit, and whether it is a residential central air conditioner or a split AC system. If you need help determining the right size and type of home air conditioner for you, consult with a professional experienced residential air conditioning contractor. You can expect solid advice about an energy efficient unit for your home, as well as professional residential HVAC design, central air conditioning installation, air conditioning servicing and repairs.
