I debated for a long time before finally replacing our central cooling system. Although the air conditioner had lasted longer than I ever expected, it was start to show its age. The unit required minor however frequent repairs, and the cost was abruptly adding up, and because our air conditioner was so old, it still used Freon refrigerant. Because of its ozone-depleting qualities, this type of refrigerant has been phased out. Modern air conditioners now use Puron refrigerant, which is much better for the environment. Any repairs for air conditioners utilizing Freon refrigerant are now more luxurious and harder to obtain; Not all HVAC businesss will even toil on this type of air conditioner. Plus, today’s air conditioners are significantly more energy efficient than our antique model. Instead of blasting at only one speed, these models incorporate adjustable speed technology. The plan automatically adjusts speed in tiny one percent increments, somewhere between forty and one hundred percent capacity; Once the plan achieves the thermostat setting, it runs at a low speed to maintain ideal and consistent temperature. It not only eliminates unpleasant temperature variations however does a better job of getting rid of excess humidity. These units are much quieter and more effective at circulating and filtering indoor air. Although a up-to-date central cooling plan was a sizable investment, I knew I’d reclaim the initial cost through energy savings and unit reliability. And the up-to-date model would be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. Now that the air conditioner is installed and operational, I’m enjoying far superior comfort. I adore the various advanced features, including Wi-Fi connectivity and zone control.
