Choosing a New Air Conditioner
If your air conditioner isn’t working like it used to, you are faced with an important decision—should you keep making AC repairs or finally invest in new AC installation for your Portland home?
Before making a final decision, you should consider the type of AC that will be best for your home, the size of the unit you’ll need, and the short and long-term costs. Keep reading to learn more about choosing the right AC model for your home. Afterward, call our team for an AC installation estimate.

Size
When choosing a new air conditioner, the size of the unit will be an extremely important factor in your decision. We highly recommend having one of our AC specialists perform a load calculation before you install a new system. This will determine the exact amount of energy needed to efficiently cool your home.
Many homeowners are unaware that load calculation is a crucial part of the buying process, and instead base their decision on the size of their current model. However, buying a unit that’s too small or too large for your home will be inefficient and end up costing you more money in the long run.
Costs
The initial purchase price isn’t the only thing you should consider when buying an air conditioner. You’ll also want to take into account how long the unit will last, average maintenance costs, and energy costs. If you’re looking to save money in the long run, we often recommend high-efficiency models like ductless split systems.
Although these models will cost slightly more upfront, you’ll see significant savings over time on your energy bills. The SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is the rating assigned to each air conditioner that informs consumers of its energy efficiency. Higher ratings mean better efficiency and lower ratings mean lower efficiency. We highly recommend upgrading to a system of at least 12 to see savings on your energy bills.
Types of AC Systems
When considering air conditioning installation, it’s essential to choose the system that best fits your needs. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular options:
Central Air Conditioners
Ideal for cooling multiple rooms or an entire home, central air conditioners circulate cool air through a system of supply and return ducts. They are efficient for large spaces and can be paired with a furnace for a complete HVAC solution.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Great for homes without ductwork, these systems have an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air-handling units. They are, energy-efficient, and provide independent control of different zones.
Heat Pumps
Serving a dual purpose, heat pumps can cool and heat your home. They are especially effective in moderate climates and can reduce energy usage by transferring heat instead of generating it.
