Arizona summers are not for the faint of heart.
As the weather heats up, the importance of sound, reliable air conditioning becomes blazingly apparent. But here’s the hard truth: not all air conditioners are created equal. Choosing the right one for your home can make the difference between a comfortable summer enjoying life, or a miserable trial through the hottest months. Choosing the right unit for your home can also make a massive difference in your monthly energy bills and general quality of life.

How to Choose the Right AC Unit
SEER
While all air conditioners may seem like basically the same, their Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) can vary considerably. The SEER measures an air conditioner’s efficiency, with higher numbers indicating greater efficiency and potentially significant energy savings. A 14 SEER air conditioner is the minimum efficiency available, but it is worth considering models with higher SEER ratings for increased energy savings over time. At Martin Air, we offer a variety of air conditioners that start at 14 SEER and go up to 20 SEER.
Energy Savings
In addition to SEER ratings, there are other features to consider when selecting an air conditioner that can impact energy savings and overall comfort. For instance, some air conditioners come equipped with advanced features, such as two-stage compressors and variable fan speed operations. Two-stage compressors can adjust the air conditioning output based on the outdoor temperature, which can save energy while also providing consistent cooling. Variable fan speed operations allow for greater control over the airflow in your home, which can lead to increased comfort and energy savings.
Budget and Needs
When selecting the best AC for your home and family, it is important to consider your specific needs and budget. While a higher SEER rating and advanced features may provide increased energy savings and comfort, they may also come with a higher price tag. The team here at Martin Air can work with you to assess your home’s cooling needs and budget to help you make the best decision for your family.
Size
Another factor to consider when selecting an AC unit is the size of your home. An air conditioning unit that is too small for your home may not provide adequate cooling, while an oversized unit may waste energy and lead to increased energy bills. Our team can help you determine the perfect size for your home, considering factors such as the size of your home, ceiling height, and insulation.
