Consider its energy efficiency rating. Look for units with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, as these will be more efficient and cost less to operate. You’ll also want to consider the noise level of the unit. Look for models with a low decibel rating, especially if you’ll be using the air conditioner in a bedroom or other quiet space.

Installation of a split system and central air systems requires a more complex installation process. A professional installer will need to mount the outdoor unit and run ductwork throughout the house. When hiring an installer, make sure to choose someone who is experienced, licensed, and insured, also, look for reviews and ask for references before hiring. The cost of installation will vary depending on the type of air conditioner you choose and the complexity of the installation.

When shopping for a new air conditioner, consider the long-term costs. A more expensive, energy-efficient unit may cost more upfront, but it will save you money on your energy bills in the long run. You may also want to consider purchasing a maintenance plan or warranty for your air conditioner. This can help cover the cost of repairs and regular maintenance. Regular maintenance is important for keeping your air conditioner running smoothly. This includes changing the air filter regularly, cleaning the unit, and having it inspected by a professional twice a year.
