If you live in the Kansas City area and are looking for ways to increase your home’s comfort level this summer, you might want to consider the benefits that come with high-efficiency air conditioners. These effective units provide an excellent way to increase the overall comfort level of your home. Although high-efficiency air conditioning units cost more upfront than traditional A/C units, the energy that you will save by using them will help lower your monthly utility bills and save you more money in the long run.

The easiest way to know the efficiency level of an A/C unit is to check it’s SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating). High-efficiency air conditioners are somewhere between a 16-23 SEER. The government considers air conditioning models that fall in this range to be about 14 percent more efficient than traditional air conditioners. By adding one of these units to your home, it is very likely that you could reduce energy consumed by your home by as much as 40 percent.

High efficiency air conditioners are excellent options for people who live in places where energy costs are expensive. You will be able to offset rising energy costs with the addition of a new high-efficiency air conditioning unit. Some utility companies will even offer credits to homeowners who add a high efficiency air conditioner to their homes.

Efficient A/C systems can also play an important role in increasing your home’s indoor air quality. According to the EPA, poor indoor air quality ranks among the top five health risks to humans. Highly efficient air conditioners when installed with matching air handling systems, are more effective at filtering dust, pollen and other allergens out of the air. This is incredibly beneficial for anyone who suffers from asthma or seasonal allergies.

There are a wide number of benefits that come with installing a highly efficient air conditioning unit in your home. They will help you save money and will turn your home into a more comfortable environment.
