Is your SoCal home due for a new air conditioner? Perhaps it\u2019s just not delivering the cooling power you need for our extended cooling season. Or perhaps it\u2019s even worse\u2013it\u2019s broken down completely and the forecast calls for a heatwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Orange County homeowner relishes the day when their AC system needs to be replaced. However, there is a silver lining to this cloud: there are a lot more options for air conditioners today than there were even a decade ago. There might be an option that\u2019ll suit you much better than that old, outdated AC that\u2019s wasting energy and driving up your utility bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When faced with the need for AC replacement, it\u2019s easy to just purchase the cheapest, newest version of your previous system. But do a little more research and you may find that there\u2019s a different type of system that\u2019ll not only suit your needs better, but save you more money in the long run. You can stop Googling HVAC installation near me<\/a> and read about those options here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Central Air Conditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many California homeowners have a central air conditioner and it\u2019s probably the kind that\u2019s in your home right now. Not only have central air conditioners been around for a long time, but they\u2019re also considered the obvious choice when it comes to excellent cooling power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re determined to get a new central AC, it\u2019ll help to know about recent advancements that have been made. Your previous system had a SEER rating. Now, that rating system for energy efficiency is designated by SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The higher the SEER2 rating, the more energy efficient it\u2019ll be, but that also means these systems have a higher upfront cost. You\u2019ll need to take into account the fact that a more energy-efficient air conditioner will cost you less in energy bills the longer you have it. Consult us when choosing a SEER2 rating for your new central AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ducted Heat Pumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some California homeowners believe that a heat pump cannot sufficiently cool down their homes in the summer. However, that simply isn\u2019t true because a heat pump uses the same technology as an air conditioner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference is that a heat pump can also provide heating. Heat pumps are a great option if you also need to replace your heater soon. Ducted heat pumps have a similar setup to a central AC with an indoor and outdoor unit. For cooling, the efficiency is designated by SEER2, and for heating, the efficiency is designated by its HSPF2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless Mini Splits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a heat pump doesn\u2019t use traditional ductwork, it\u2019s a ductless heat pump system. These are commonly referred to as mini splits and their setup is different from ducted heat pumps. There\u2019s still an outdoor unit, but there are multiple inside units instead of just one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These units are called air handlers. They are mounted on the walls of the various rooms of your home. As you can imagine, this provides incredible customization of which rooms are cooled and heated, making them an incredibly popular option among homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
