If your air conditioning unit is over eight years old you should consider replacing it for the following reasons: Energy Efficiency- Your air conditioning system can account for more than 50% of your electricity bill during peak cooling months. Your new air conditioner installed by Aspen Air can save you hundreds of dollars per year. Many times, your new system can pay for itself in less than five years.
The efficiency of your air conditioner is measured in a way similar to miles per gallon (MPG) for your family car. The higher that your car’s MPG is, the less it costs to operate. Your air conditioner’s EER (Energy Efficiency Rating) tells you how much cooling you get for each kilowatt (KW) of electricity that you use. The higher the EER, the more efficient your unit is and it will cost you less to air condition your facility. If you replace you’re your system that has an EER of 8.0 with a high efficiency unit (EER 12.0), your air conditioning electric bill would be reduced by 50%.
Comfort- With new technology your air conditioning system can match its performance to the specific needs of your home. New air conditioners vary the amount of air that is needed to ensure comfortable temperature and humidity levels. When outside temperatures are low but humidity levels are high, your new system can automatically reduce your air flow to as low as 10% of capacity. Your desired temperature and humidity levels will be maintained.
Repairs- Older air conditioners break down more often. Since your system works longer hours in the hot Florida summer months, it is likely to break down when you need it most. In addition to the discomfort of working in a hot, sticky environment, repair costs are high. On many commercial air conditioners, parts may not be immediately available and the repair could take as long as 3 days.
Environment- Most air conditioning systems installed prior to 2005 used a chlorine based refrigerant (R-22) that has been proven to damage the atmosphere (the ozone layer). This refrigerant has been banned in new units. A limited amount of R-22 is being produced for the repair of old units, but prices are raising rapidly, supplies may be limited.
Aspen has been installing systems with refrigerant 410A since 2001. This refrigerant is green and does not harm the environment.
