Air conditioners are essential equipment in many Canadian homes. The purchase of a new central air conditioner is an investment in your comfort. Ultimately, you want a cooling system that meets your requirements for comfort and efficiency. Technology and industry standards have changed, and your home may have undergone changes as well. When choosing an air conditioner, correct sizing and efficiency are critical with higher efficiency models up to 14 SEER available. If your present air conditioner is 10 years or older your unit may be as low as 6 to 8 SEER. Anchor ClimateCare is fully qualified to help you select equipment that's properly sized, with a good efficiency rating.
Size
When it comes to air conditioning, bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. An air conditioner that's too big will cycle on and off quickly, and won't run long enough to remove moisture from the air. We all know comfort in hot weather is determined by both temperature and humidity.

Efficiency
Central air conditioners use the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), as the measurement of efficiency. The higher the SEER, the greater the efficiency and the greater your energy savings potential. The minimum SEER rating allowed is 13.
Did you know that having an annual maintenance performed on your central air conditioner by a qualified service technician could reduce your energy bills by as much as 10% a year, as well as extend the life of your unit and improve air quality?
