Average Life Span of an Air Conditioner

How old is your A/C system? If it’s more than 12 years, it may be time for a replacement. Even if the system seems fine, it’s nearing the end of its life and could be costing you much more to run than a newer, more energy efficient model. As heating and air experts, we can help you select a Westinghouse system that will help you save energy and money, too. Call for a consultation today.

Choosing the Right SEER

As summer heats up, you might be thinking about a new air conditioner. Do your wallet a favor and choose a high efficiency model. New air conditioners come labeled with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER), a standard that lets you calculate how much electricity the air conditioner will consume. The higher the SEER, the less it will cost you to operate the appliance to achieve the same level of cooling. As HVAC experts, Westinghouse can help you navigate the many options available in energy efficient air conditioning. Call us to set up a consultation today.

Consider Using Shades or Blinds to Block Direct Sun

Help your A/C keep its cool this summer by using shades or blinds that block hot sun, especially on windows facing east and west. Inhibiting direct sun with landscaping can also prevent outside heat from affecting the temperature indoors.
