How can I improve the energy efficiency of my air conditioning system?
Improving energy efficiency can be achieved by regularly cleaning or replacing air filters, ensuring proper insulation and sealing of your home, using a programmable thermostat, and having routine maintenance checks. Additionally, consider upgrading to a more energy-efficient model if your current system is outdated.
What size air conditioner do I need for my home?

An HVAC professional can perform a load calculation to determine the correct size, ensuring your unit is neither too small nor too large for optimal efficiency and comfort.

It's strongly recommended to hire a professional to ensure safe and correct installation, and to maintain any warranties.
