FIGURING OUT YOUR NEEDS

There are so many different parameters that go into choosing to install a new heating and air conditioning system that it can sometimes seem impossible to figure out what the best choice is for your unique needs. If you sometimes find yourself facing this paralyzing dilemma, let us help you out by going over some of the most common factors that go into choosing the best air conditioning system or furnace. Of course, because everyone’s situation is unique, some of the things we talk about here may not be helpful for you, but it will nonetheless this article will help you organize your thoughts and choose what kind of system will be best for you.


One important feature that may impact you is the level of air quality you need in your home. If you suffer from bad allergies or live in an area with poorer air quality outside, investing in a system that can filter your air will have an enormous payoff in your quality of life inside your home. If you need these extra features for your Trane system, make sure to pick out an air conditioner or a furnace that will keep the air inside your house fresh and pure. If this sounds like something that you need for your home, then look to add Trane CleanEffects to your install new system to make sure that the air being pushed inside your home is free of any dust, pollen, or other kinds of irritants that could make your life uncomfortable. Choosing a system with air filtration will make you feel cleaner, more comfortable, and generally healthier in your own home.


Another thing to consider when looking for a new install air conditioner or furnace is the amount of noise it generates. It is true that some units are louder than others, so if you live in a quiet area and enjoy the peace and quiet, make sure to find an air conditioner that will keep the peace and quiet that you so enjoy. On the flip side, if you live in an area with more noise in the neighborhood, it may not be worth it to spend the extra money for a unit that is just quieter if you are already used to living in a noisy area. Trane offers air conditioners and furnaces with many different sound levels, so you will always be able to choose a system that works best for your needs.


Of course, the other thing you need to consider is the size of your home. A small house with just two bedrooms will not need an air conditioner or furnace with the same power as one that would be used in a five bedroom and five bathroom mansion. Choosing the right power for your air conditioning system will ensure that you do not waste money paying for a more powerful product that you don’t need, and that you do not skimp out and buy and install an air conditioner or furnace that is not powerful enough to keep your entire house comfortable. No matter what size home you have, you will be able to find a Trane system that meets your needs perfectly.


WHAT FEATURES DO YOU NEED?

In addition to just evaluating what kind of system would best fit your lifestyle, you will also need to think about the features that you want to see in your new air conditioner or furnace. This can cover a wide range of things—from energy efficiency all the way to what kind of furnace you want. By going through and evaluating exactly what kind of system you want to install in your home, you will be nearly through with choosing your next Trane air conditioner or furnace. Although this process may seem tedious and time-consuming, it will pay off in the future when you are able to enjoy the cool (or warm, depending on the season), comfortable air in your own home.

Of course, the biggest decision you will have to make in terms of the features of your new system is the degree to which you want to make sure to have an energy efficient air conditioner or furnace in your home. There are plenty of benefits to having a system that is efficient with its energy. First of all, it will be less expensive for you in the long run. Although you may pay more up front for the advanced technology that enables the energy efficiency, you will save month after month when you are paying lower bills for power. Plus, there are plenty of incentives out there now for choosing a more energy efficient system—you may be able to get credits on your monthly energy bill or even a rebate for the system that you choose. Furthermore, you can feel good that you are doing your bit to help the environment. A more energy efficient air conditioner or furnace means that fewer fossil fuels are being burned to provide your home with cool and warm air. This will make the feeling of walking into a cool home on a hot summer day even sweeter—you will not feel guilty that the comfort of your home may be coming at the


expense of the environment. When looking for an energy efficient system, look at the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of the air conditioner. This will tell you whether or not the unit you choose is energy efficient. For this score, the higher the number, the more energy efficient it is.


When looking for a new furnace, pay attention to the different levels of heat they can generate. Some furnaces have binary systems—either warm or hot, meaning that you have less control over the amount of heat that comes out of your furnace. Others are more modular, meaning that the furnace can determine the precise amount of heat that it wants to generate. A useful analogy for this is a light. Imagine a lamp with several settings of brightness. Each time you flip the switch on the lamp, it gets brighter, but there are still just a finite number of levels of brightness. Now consider a lamp with a variable brightness—as you turn a knob, the light gets brighter. In this case, there are a near infinite number of levels of brightness. This is how the heating stages work—if you are particular, choose a furnace with modular heating stages. Otherwise, one with the binary warm and hot stages will be perfect for your needs.
