Summer can get hot in Mesa. There’s still time to check if the AC unit on your property is working efficiently and will provide comfort in the months ahead.
Before getting in touch with a reliable AC Contractor in Mesa, AZ, reach us at(480) 688-7078. It’s good to note down a few things you may want to discuss with your contractor before purchasing a new AC.
What size to buy?
The capacity of an AC is measured in tonnes, which is its cooling capacity. Tonnage is measured in BTU (British Thermal Units). A BTU is your AC’s energy to remove heat from any area in an hour. A 1-ton air conditioner would be able to remove 12,000 BTUs of heat each hour. To calculate your AC tonnage, multiply the total square feet of your home x 25. This is the total number of BTUs you will need to cool your home. Next, divide the BTU value by 12,000 to get the cargo you need.
For example, if your house is 1000 square feet, BTUs would be 25000 (1000 x 25), and AC would be 2.01 tonnes (25000 / 12000). A 2.0 tonne AC would therefore provide the cooling that your home needs.
Does SEER rating matter?
SEER is the measure of your AC’s cooling efficiency. The higher the SEER, the more energy efficiency. SEER rating takes several factors into accounts, such as the size of your home, its location, and specific cooling needs. Since Arizona experiences hot summers, your AC’s SEER rating needs to be 16 or higher to give you optimal energy efficiency.
How much does an AC cost?
The cost of a central air conditioner would depend on its size and BTU. A 1.5 tonne AC with 18,000 BTUs would cost $1,920 – $2,125, whereas a 5 tonne AC with 60000 BTUs could cost you between $3,744 – $3,799. This does not include installation charges, which could be anything between $3000 to $7000.
Which brand to buy?
There are several well-known AC brands in Arizona. These include Trane, Rheem, Lennox, and Bryant, all of which have more or less similar models. It doesn’t matter which one you choose so long as you don’t compromise on your comfort.
