With so many different kinds of air conditioners available today, the process of selecting the right one to buy for your Florida home can be overwhelming. Similar to a house or a car, the perfect air conditioner for you might not be the same air conditioner that works best for your co-worker or even your neighbor. Depending on your specific needs, you’ll want to find an AC unit that will effectively keep your family cool and comfortable during the dog days of a Fort Myers summer. Luckily, the professionals at Certified Heating and Cooling are here to help so you don’t have to go through this process alone.

Pick the Right Size
When it comes to air conditioners, especially in Naples—size matters. It would be so much easier if you could just pick out an HVAC system, schedule an installation, and call it day. But, unfortunately, air conditioners are not a “one size fits all” kind of purchase. That’s where local HVAC professionals like Certified Heating and Cooling come in. Our NATE-certified technicians can help with this process by completing a home evaluation and load calculation. This will take certain factors into consideration, including:
- How many people live in your home
- The size of your home
- How insulated your home is
This assessment will allow our AC technicians to help you select an HVAC system that will provide optimal efficiency for the amount of space you want to keep cool. It can be a confusing process—we get it! That’s why we’ve also provided this comprehensive list of everything you need to know about air conditioning, including how to pick the right size.
Check Energy Efficiency Ratings
Another important aspect that you need to keep in mind while shopping for a new air conditioner is how energy efficient it will be. All heating and cooling equipment is required to have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, also known as a SEER rating, that measures the efficiency of the unit. SEER ratings range from 13 or 14 to the mid-twenties, where the highest number signifies the most energy efficiency. However, an AC unit with a 13 SEER rating is still going to be much more energy efficient than the older model you most likely have in your home now. Thanks to advancements in HVAC technology over the years, most modern heating and cooling systems are more efficient than ever before.
Ask About Fair Pricing
While you might be worried about the price tag that comes along with a new air conditioner, you should view it as the investment that it is. A properly functioning air conditioner will increase your quality of life, home comfort, and peace of mind. While you are deciding between different styles, sizes, and brands, be sure to ask about different packages or plans that may come along with certain options. Also, be sure to do your research and shop around before signing on the dotted line. A trustworthy heating and air conditioning company like Certified Heating and Cooling can serve as a great resource to honestly discuss price points or budget concerns.
Choose the Right AC Installation Company
Finally, let the experts properly install your new air conditioner, explain any features or settings that you might not be aware of, and answer any lingering questions or concerns. By calling a local professional to do it right the first time, you won’t have to worry as much if something goes wrong. At Certified Heating and Cooling, we provide air conditioner repair, replacement, maintenance, and installation services for the Fort Myers and Naples areas of Florida.
