What is the best AC unit for Florida?

If you live in Florida, having the right HVAC system is imperative. And with so many air conditioner brands, it can be challenging to choose the right one for your home or property. In today's blog post, let's enumerate our most recommended air conditioners for Florida residents. Read on.

 

Important Factors to Consider

There are several factors to consider when looking for an air conditioner. Most Floridians want an HVAC system that is reliable, energy-efficient, affordable, and backed by a leading manufacturer with excellent customer service. Living in the hot and humid climate of Tampa Bay, we cannot afford to have a unit that breaks down and we certainly don't want to deal with unreliable brands that don't stand behind their products.

Based on our years of experience, Comfort Air recommends Rheem air conditioners for those seeking excellent customer service and the reliability of a leading AC manufacturer. However, Rheem offers many different models, so there are still other factors to consider when making your decision. In addition to brand reputation, you should also check the energy efficiency score, cost, and features of the specific model you are considering.

AC Reliability

It is vital to get an air conditioner from a trusted manufacturer. For your peace of mind, choose Rheem products. Rheem has a long and proven track record when it comes to producing state-of-the-art HVAC equipment. They specialize in just about everything your home system needs, including air conditioners, thermostats, gas furnaces, and heat pumps.

AC Cost

Another factor to consider is the cost of the air conditioner. Be realistic with price expectations. In Tampa, Florida, the cost of a new air conditioner can vary widely, depending on the brand, model, and size. You should also consider installation costs, as some AC models require more complex installations that will be more costly. Know your budget and understand your air conditioning needs to avoid overpaying.

Keep in mind that you do not necessarily need the biggest or the most expensive air conditioning system. Get a professional evaluation to determine the ideal air conditioning system for your home or property.

Sometimes a mini-split system is the best option. Although the units themselves are actually more expensive, mini-split units do not require ductwork. If there is no existing ductwork, the mini-split air conditioner may be the most cost-effective option.

AC Features

In addition to increased energy efficiency, air conditioners now offer many innovative and convenient features. Homeowners can take advantage of new features like variable speed models or two-stage operational systems, scroll compressors, quieter operation, and environmentally safe refrigerants. You can get these features and more from top manufacturers like Rheem.

Customer Service for AC Products

Customer service is one of the most valuable factors for any air conditioner brand. Do they offer comprehensive product and installation warranties? How do they manage customers' warranty problems? Does it take long to provide for the customer's needs? These things should be taken into consideration when it comes to rating the customer service of an air conditioner brand.

AC Unit’s SEER Rating

Rheem is an industry leader in AC energy efficiency. One way to determine the energy efficiency of your heating or cooling system is to check the SEER Rating. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.

SEER is the metric used for both AC and heat pump efficiencies. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The ideal SEER rating for an HVAC unit is 14 or higher.
