Greetings from Wesley Ramirez HVAC, hope everyone stayed warm this winter.
Things to consider going into the summer for your home cooling needs.
Change filters every 30 to 45 days. Our ac's usually get a good workout during July - September so I would change filters every 30 days. Reason for filter changes is due to needing proper air flow across your indoor evaporator (evap) coils. The indoor coils removes the heat and humidity out of the house and if filter and evap coil dirty and clogged unfortantley ac will not cool very well, compressor works harder and electrical bill is higher.
If your ac is on its last leg, need to look at some equipment options as far as replacement goes. Some Lennox air conditioning and heating systems base investment around $6500 on up. If you are thinking of new Lennox equipment here are some things to think about.
1. Do you plan on being in your house the next 3 to 5 year to enjoy a new ac or system?
2. Are you going to sell your home in the next month to 2 years?
3. Looking at lowering your utility investment per month.
4. Depending on how high a SEER rating you would like think about the extra $2k-$4K invested on high seer rating; can i invest that back into my home and make it more energy efficient.
5. Lastly, research, get information, ask questions and find out your best options investing in a new hvac system. Make a good informed decision to avoid high pressure or low pressure sales tactics.
In closing thank you again for taking the time to read my blog.
