When it comes to air conditioners, bigger usually doesn’t mean better. However, a higher SEER rating is better. If your central air conditioning system is more than 20 years old; a new energy efficient air conditioner can reduce the energy used by more than half.

Tuning and adjusting an existing AC system can also increase the efficiency up to 30%. It is common for an air conditioning system to lack the correct charge, inadequate flow and be over-sized by 50% or more of all which reduce the effectiveness of the unit.

If you have hot rooms in your home; a new air conditioning system in Boise may not be the solution. It’s a common mistake to replace an air conditioning unit hoping that it solves the problem of a hot second floor.
