Selecting the Right System

Choosing the right AC unit requires more than picking a brand—our technicians guide you every step of the way.

• SEER Ratings Explained: The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures how efficiently your unit cools. Modern systems range from 14 to 26 SEER—higher ratings offer greater savings.
• Tonnage & Capacity: Measured in tons (1 ton ≈ 12,000 BTU/hr), proper sizing prevents energy waste from short cycling or insufficient cooling.
• Brand & Warranty Comparison: We install top brands like Carrier, Trane, Goodman, and more—all backed by up to 10-year warranties.
• The $5,000 Rule: If your AC is over 10 years old or repairs exceed 50% of replacement cost, upgrading ensures better value. We use this rule to guide cost-effective decisions.
