It’s an excellent time to upgrade to a new air conditioning system installed in Boynton Beach, FL, by Crest Air. The HVAC industry has made tremendous strides in energy consumption. In fact, the Department of Energy (DOE) updated its efficiency standards in 2023 to reflect these innovations. It estimates that the baseline AC unit today is 8% more efficient than those made a decade ago. There are also much more efficient systems available that can help you save even more on your cooling, and Crest Air can help.

An important consideration when choosing a new AC unit in Boynton Beach is size. An AC has to be big enough to provide comfort throughout your home. From a cost perspective, it’s also crucial that an AC is neither too large nor too small. An oversized or undersized AC unit will lead to reduced energy efficiency, higher operating costs, and a shorter lifespan.
The industry sizes AC systems by British thermal units (BTUs). For example, for a 2,000-square-foot home, you’ll typically need an AC that outputs 33,000 BTUs. That said, accurately sizing an AC is more than just a matter of square footage. Installers will perform a Manual J load calculation. This accounts for square footage, ceiling height, many aspects of the building envelope, and location. A home that gets a lot of sun will need a bigger AC than a similar house in the shade.
Other factors to consider are the energy-efficiency ratings that the DOE uses. The two notable ratings for an AC are energy-efficiency ratio (EER2) and seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER2). EER2 indicates how efficient the AC is during peak performance. SEER2 indicates how efficient an AC will be over the course of an entire summer. In both cases, the higher the number, the more efficient the system. The DOE minimums for Florida are 14.3 SEER2 and 11.2 EER2.
