What do good central air conditioning units have in common?
Beyond these essentials, top‑tier central air conditioning units are also designed with advanced technology that enhances comfort and convenience. Many modern systems feature variable‑speed compressors and fans that adjust output to match your home’s cooling needs, reducing energy waste and maintaining consistent temperatures. They often integrate seamlessly with smart thermostats, giving homeowners greater control over energy use and indoor climate. In addition, high‑quality units are built with durable components that resist wear, ensuring longevity even during heavy summer use. Choosing a system with these qualities means investing in efficiency, reliability, and peace of mind for years to come. For expert air conditioning installation and dependable service across Western New York, including Buffalo, NY; Rochester, NY; and surrounding communities, contact TRS Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. today to schedule your installation and enjoy reliable comfort all season long.
The best ones are efficient, operating on minimal electricity to hold utility bills down. They provide steady, dependable performance year after year when properly maintained. Good systems are quiet, long-lasting and low in service needs.
How can I be sure my Unit is the right size?
Obviously, an air conditioner that’s too small won’t keep your home sufficiently cool. But what many don’t realize is that an oversized system will cycle (turn on and off) more than necessary, wasting expensive energy, and possibly putting undue strain on the compressor.
TRS Heating and Air Conditioning will determine the optimum size for your home by making a careful study of your cooling requirements, window dimensions and exposure, floor space, insulation and local climate, as well as your heat-generating appliances and even the direction your home faces. Did you know the amount of your home’s exterior shaded by tree will influence the size of the Air Conditioner required as well?
We’ll specify the air conditioning capacity of the system in either Btu/h (British thermal units of heat removed per hour) or refrigeration tons (one ton being equal to 12,000 Btu/h).
Which air conditioners are energy efficient?
Much like automobile manufacturers, today’s air conditioner manufacturers are required by law to evaluate and rate their equipment according to its energy efficiency. This rating is known in the industry as a SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the equipment.
Most new homes with central air come equipped with a standard builder’s model. However, when replacement becomes necessary, property owners can upgrade their air conditioning by specifying a more energy-efficient system.
The Rheem High Efficiency models, for example, have a SEER of 14.00, among the highest available.
High SEER models are generally more expensive, but they can easily make up the difference by reducing your home energy bills over the long run.
Seasonal Installation Benefits
Spring and early summer are the ideal times to schedule air conditioner installation because demand is lower, promotional pricing is often available, and homeowners can ensure their system is ready before the hottest months arrive. By planning ahead, you avoid the stress of peak season and enjoy uninterrupted comfort when temperatures rise. TRS Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. not only provides expert installation, but also offers dependable air conditioning repair and comprehensive heating system services to keep your home comfortable year‑round.
Are some air conditioners built better than others?
The compressor is the heart of a condensing unit. On a hot day, it works long and hard. We carry Rheem equipment, which has a highly advanced scroll compressor in every condensing unit we produce. Scroll Compressors are recognized by the industry as the leader in reliability, efficiency and quiet operation.
Other features to look for include louvered steel cabinets that protect the coils from damage and expensive repair bills.
Also, with some condensing units, the fan can be another source of bothersome noise. Rheem units have a grill design that minimizes air restriction for quieter fan operation.
