Why Choose Trane or Lennox for AC?
Selecting the right AC unit means looking beyond just cooling power. Here are a few features that define high-performing air conditioners:
-
Energy Efficiency: High SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings mean better energy savings. In Texas, your AC needs at least a 15 SEER, but going higher can really cut down your energy bills.
-
Quiet Operation: A quieter home is a more comfortable home, so check the decibel ratings—lower is better.
-
Dependability: Look for brands with strong reliability ratings and customer reviews. Quality units should last 10–15 years.
-
Technology: Features like variable-speed compressors, smart thermostat compatibility, and advanced filtration make a big difference in comfort and air quality.
-
Value: Don’t just focus on the up-front cost. Consider long-term savings, warranty coverage, and maintenance.
-
Eco-Friendliness: Choose units with green refrigerants and energy-efficient performance to reduce your footprint.
