How Modern Air Conditioning Is Better Than Ever
Air conditioning has been a constant part of most people's lives for many decades now after it was popularized in the mid-20th century. Just like every other piece of technology from that era, HVAC systems have only gotten better as time goes on. If you have been putting up with old air conditioning units for some time now, then there has never been more reason to upgrade.
Here are a few ways in which a new air conditioning system can provide a far superior service to those in the recent past.
1. Acceleration at the Start
Air conditioning used to take a long time to "warm up." Many split-system and even ducted systems take over ten minutes before they would begin reliably heating or cooling a room. That process has been significantly improved in the last few years so that the change in heating is almost instant, normally within just a couple of minutes. If you have the opportunity to see any air conditioning units at a showroom then you will be able to test that for yourself as well. With more people staying at home during summer because of COVID-19, this has never been more important.
2. Efficiency
Air conditioning was, traditionally, quite a resource-intensive process that could increase your power bill to the tune of hundreds of dollars a year. Many people have tried regulating their usage in summer and winter just to save a couple of bucks. Modern air conditioning units are much better at cooling or heating while also being very carbon-efficient. A lot of air conditioners even proudly display their efficiency so you can compare them with your current one or other competitors in the market. If you don't enjoy waiting for the power bill and can see it is getting worse then it may be time to upgrade.
3. Noise Control
Air conditioners have been getting better at being silent in the past few years, but for a long time, it was accepted that if you wanted to get cool or hot then you would have to put up with quite a loud background noise. For those who have air conditioning in their business or at their home office, this can be quite a distraction. Now you can have all the benefits of the air conditioning without the periphery noise that can put you off of what you were doing.
