When comparing air conditioners, pay close attention to the SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It’s a measure of how efficient an air conditioner cools your home in the summer. The higher the SEER, the less energy you’ll use. Ellis Heating and Air Conditioning can help you find the right size air conditioner for your home.

Bigger is not always better. Air conditioners remove the heat and humidity inside your home when it runs. In order to do that, it needs to run long enough. An oversized unit will cool the home too quickly, but not remove enough humidity. This will leave the home feeling damp and clammy. A properly sized air conditioner will be efficient, remove the humidity and heat, and leave the home feeling just right. We will size your unit based on the size of the home, number of windows and other factors.

Air conditioners are designed to run. Some 24/7. In most cases they will turn off and on periodically throughout the day but as the heat turns up, usually past 95 degrees, its normal for some to run for hours on end.

By continuously running, they are removing heat and humidity from your home. Most units are designed to maintain an average temperature of 78 degrees on a 95-degree day. Beyond that, they may run nonstop until the sun and its heat goes down in the evening.

Most contractors sell the cheapest “Made in China” parts that average 2-5 years lifespan. The second most common service call is a clogged drain line. Many times it is discovered as water is dripping through the ceiling which adds significant cost and damage to a normally simple problem. We offer a part that will keep the water from leaking out of the system in the event of a clogged drain. This device is also serviceable by our technicians or we can even show you how to clean it yourself yearly if you choose to do so.

Lifespans of air conditioners can depend on several things. Some of the more important factors are brand and quality of installation. In May of 2012, readers of a national product testing and research magazine rated American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning’s air conditioners and heat pumps as the most reliable brand among leading manufacturers. Likewise, in 2014, Ellis Heating & Air Conditioning was awarded American Standards Customer Care dealer of the year. Besides brand and installation, maintenance will be the third component to ensure a long, productive lifespan.

Your heating & air equipment wants the least amount of airflow resistance possible so if you don’t have any health issues, cheap fiberglass filters are best. By using pleated or “heavier” filters, your system can be starved from lack of airflow. If indoor air quality is a concern, the American Standard AccuClean is an option to add on to a system to reduce particulates from the home without significantly reducing airflow thus maintaining the efficiency of the system.
