Today's best air conditioners use 30%–50% less energy to produce the same amount of cooling as air conditioners made in the mid 1970s. Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save 20%–40% of your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model.

Installation of Air Conditioners

Many air conditioners are not installed correctly. As an unfortunate result, modern energy-efficient air conditioners can perform almost as poorly as older inefficient models.

HORIZON MECHANICAL will make sure you get all the comfort and energy efficiency you paid for! By performing the following procedures when installing your new central air conditioning system:

• Uses a Load calculation such as the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) Manual J
• Ensures there are enough supply registers to deliver cool air and enough return air registers to carry warm house air back to the air conditioner
• Seals all ducts with duct mastic and heavily insulates attic ducts (options; call for details)
• Locate the condensing unit where its noise will not keep you or your neighbors awake at night, (if possible) or let us show you our quietest A/C units.
• Locate the condensing unit where no nearby objects will block the flow of air to it
• Verifies that the newly installed air conditioner has the exact refrigerant charge and air flow rate specified by the manufacturer
• Locate the thermostat away from heat sources, such as windows or supply registers.

If you are replacing an older or failed split system, we need to make sure that the evaporator coil is replaced with a new one that exactly matches the condenser coil in the new condensing unit. (The air conditioner's efficiency will likely not improve if the existing evaporator coil is left in place; in fact, the old coil could cause the new compressor to fail prematurely.)
