Should You Buy a New Air Conditioner?
It’s every homeowner’s nightmare to come home to a malfunctioning air conditioner during the hot summer months. There may be times when your AC unit will shoot off warning signs that may indicate it is now approaching the end of its lifecycle. If and when this happens, don’t panic! There are many air conditioning options to choose from to accommodate all different environments, budgets and needs.
Whether you are in the market for a wall or window unit, ductless mini-split or central air conditioning unit, today’s systems are designed to provide homeowners with superior comfort for less. Even more, your local utility company or municipality may offer incentives and rebates for upgrading your existing HVAC equipment to Energy Star certified units.

The Benefits of Upgrading to an Energy Efficient Air Conditioner
If you are thinking about replacing your air conditioning unit, it’s a wise choice to choose an Energy Star certified system. They offer higher seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) ratings, consuming less energy than traditional models. They also offer the following benefits:
- Lower utility bills – Highly efficient air conditioners require less energy to operate, which means you spend less to cool your home.
- More consistent temperatures – A variable-speed motor operates at a wide range of speeds, allowing the system to deliver even and consistent air flow throughout the home.
- Improved indoor air quality – A variable-speed motor also improves your home’s air quality. When the motor is constantly operating through the “fan” setting, it slowly circulates the air, allowing the air filtration system to capture more dust and pollen.
- Increase your home’s resale value – A new air conditioning unit can inspire potential buyers to put an offer on your home, as they won’t have to incur additional costs to upgrade the system.
Ruud Air Conditioners Are ENERGY STAR® Certified For Reliable Comfort
Just like a vehicle’s MPG, the higher the SEER2 and EER2 rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio / Energy Efficiency Ratio), the higher the efficiency of your air conditioner—allowing for energy savings month after month. Keep in mind, other factors such as system matching, sizing, ductwork and installation also affect overall efficiency. By hiring a factory trained contractor, you can be confident that you are choosing the best heating and cooling system for your home’s comfort and your budget.

The ideal time to schedule maintenance for your furnace and air conditioner is during the crisp days of fall.

Aim to schedule air conditioning maintenance annually, preferably before the onset of summer’s heat.
While professional maintenance is vital for maximizing the efficiency and reliability of your home’s comfort systems, there are also simple DIY tasks you can perform to boost their performance and extend their lifespan.
