Your home air conditioner can account for between 40 to 60% of your energy bills. An optimized home air conditioning system can actually help you save energy and reduce your power bills. Unfortunately, many home owners make their residential AC purchase blindly without taking into consideration the house layout, weather, and other factors that affect energy usage.
The proper size of house air conditioning system is critical to achieve high energy efficiency. A home air conditioner that is too large for a room will operate in brief cooling cycles whenever the desired temperature is reached. Not only does this mean energy wastage, because the system keeps switching on and off when the desired temperature is reached, but these shorter cycles fail to remove moisture, increasing humidity and the potential for mold growth. A residential air conditioner that's too small on the other hand, won't be able to coo the room effectively during peak season, effectively, thereby defeating the purpose of installing a home AC. Plus, the system is forced to run continuously to meet the home's cooling needs, thereby inflating your energy bills. Look for a home air conditioner with a higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). These are more expensive, but you'll be able to make up the costs in operating savings.
There are other things that can affect the efficiency of your house air conditioning system. For instance, placement of the AC unit, and whether it is a residential central air conditioner or a split AC system. If you need help determining the right size and type of home air conditioner for you, consult with a professional experienced residential air conditioning contractor. You can expect solid advice about an energy efficient unit for your home, as well as professional residential HVAC design, central air conditioning installation, air conditioning servicing and repairs.
