Save More Energy with the Right AC Unit

Bigger is Not Better - Neither is Smaller

A lot of people assume that bigger means better when it comes to AC units. The fact of the matter is: size doesn't matter, fit does. The unit should be fitted for your space. Here's why:

• Undersized units run constantly as they try (and fail) to reach the desired temperature. They never catch up, burn more energy, and wear out faster. Pitiful.
• Oversized units will cool your space too quickly, then turn off. Then back on again. Then off shortly after that. This short cycling can spike your energy use, create humidity issues, and strain the unit for no good reason.

The key is finding the right-sized system for your square footage, insulation, layout, and even sun exposure. Professionals from Purified Air take these considerations and more when assessing your AC.

Newer Often is Better

Manufacturers, regulators, and consumers are constantly looking for the better one, and newer often means better. The latest models use variable-speed motors and smart thermostats to adjust output depending on your cooling needs. They're also earning higher and higher SEER ratings for efficiency. Plus, they integrate advanced filtration so you get cleaner, more breathable air.
