The AC world is changing. In fact, the whole world is changing. The AC business is no different. New technologies, Freons, motors, compressors, labor force, taxes, warranties and more importantly laws and regulations. We prepared this information to highlight a few changes affecting us today.
SEER - What is SEER?
SEER is the government acronym for:
Seasonal
Energy
Efficiency
Rating
Currently the standard is 14 SEER. On January 1, 2023 the new government standard goes in effect. Air Central recommends replacement while inventory is still available.
FREON - R-22 Refrigerant
In 1987* our government planned the death of cfc's and hcfc's as of 2020 R-22, the Freon we have used for decades, is no longer manufactured in the USA.
In effect, proper servicing is impossible without R-22. You can mix Freons, but you assume all responsibility. No manufacturer will approve of this. We recommend change out to a system with the new government authorized refrigerant.
INVERTER - Why do I need an inverter heat pump?
Old AC’s run on only one speed “High”.
Get in your car and step on it! That’s your AC. Inverters run constantly at a fraction of the wattage from 20% to 100% depending on the temperature needs. If demand is low, it operates low and revs up when needed.
DUCTLESS HEAT PUMPS - Can you run a duct to my new addition?
This was common yesterday, just like gas was .99 cents and a kw was .10 cents.
Ductwork is many times antiquated. A ductless heat pump runs constantly providing constant comfort at a fraction of the wattage a central heat pump does.
WARRANTIES - Did you know?
Using a licensed HVAC professional with an office staff that registers all new AC installations will add up to 10 years parts warranty to your new system.
Avoiding AC contractors, in effect, makes you liable for all service and warranty. AC contractors provide the value. You save more in just one failed motor.
Licensed AC contractors can also provide an extension on your one-year labor warranty up to 10 years. Ten-year parts and labor warranty! That's piece of mind...
