Longer operating cycles mean lower humidity levels in the house \u2013 a key factor in comfort and air quality. With the right size of air conditioner, relative humidity can be maintained at between 30% and 50%, which is ideal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2425 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-5c.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Energy efficiency<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next important point is energy performance. The EnerGuide label on every air conditioner provides information about its efficiency, and the unit\u2019s SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating measures performance. The higher the rating, the less energy the device consumes. This is very useful when deciding which product is best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, a product that has the ENERGY STAR symbol will meet the most strick standards in energy-efficiency. Today, products with ENERGY STAR\u2013approved labels must have a SEER of at least 14, but there are air conditioners on the market with a SEER of 21. So this is definitely something to look for!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Noise level<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2431 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-5d-1-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-5d-1-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-5d-1.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last point you should consider is to make sure your unit\u2019s noise level respects municipal bylaws \u2013 or, if applicable, your building regulations. As a matter of fact, your peace and quiet (and that of your neighbours) may be threatened if the unit\u2019s noise level is higher than 80 decibels. You will find the needed information on noise levels in the air conditioner\u2019s specifications sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>The warranty is a good indicator<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2433 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-5e-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best products on the market generally come with excellent warranties:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Window- or wall-mounted: 5 years, parts and labour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Split system: 5 years, parts and labour; 10 years for the condenser<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Other central systems: 10 years, parts and labour<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One last piece of advice<b>:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You should avoid low-cost units with a one-year warranty; if something goes wrong after two or three years, replacement parts are often no longer on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Smart shopping:<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/allardemond.com\/contact_55\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact ALLARD &amp; EMOND<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get expert advice on what your air conditioning options are and help you choose what\u2019s best for your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Source : caaquebec.com)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This spring, before you start shopping for a new air conditioner, here is some information to take into consideration and that might be helpful.
