Choosing a New Air Conditioner or Heat Pump
Your HVAC is a complex system and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The right choice is based on what’s important to you. Fortunately, Carolina Air knows how to provide the best central HVAC system. Our Carrier systems are unmatched for performance and efficiency. Plus, you’re covered by the Carrier Warranty and the Carolina Air Guarantee!
There are several factors to consider with a new system:
Type of System
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating using electricity. This is the most common type of system in the Lowcountry. Hybrid systems combine a heat pump with a fuel furnace. This provides an alternate source of heat for cold days, with warmer air. Geothermal systems use the constant underground temperature to provide heating and cooling for your home.
Cost & Efficiency
The most efficient systems are more expensive initially. Over time they cost less to run and last longer. Systems with lower energy efficiency cost more to run and generally have a shorter life span. System efficiency is measured in SEER points (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). The higher the SEER the better. Carrier and Dominion Energy both offer rebates for higher SEER equipment. We have systems to fit any budget and also offer convenient financing options!
Humidity Control
When it’s muggy outside, it can feel warmer inside – even if the air conditioning is running. Good humidity control on your HVAC system helps you improve the comfort inside your home by removing excess moisture in the air. It is so important to have effective humidity control In the Lowcountry! Less humid air Is more comfortable air.
Thermostats and Smart Technology
Programmable thermostats provide efficiency and comfort. Smart thermostats provide convenience and control when you’re on the go. Certain wifi thermostats will even alert our office and we can dispatch a technician once a problem is recognized.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is in the news everywhere with the Coronavirus pandemic. Your indoor air can be greatly improved with our available accessories. Carrier’s Infinity Air Purifier offers a “Captures and Kills” technology that works seamlessly alongside your Carrier Infinity system. There are also many other choices that will remove bacteria, virus, cold and flu particles to ensure the safest and cleanest air available!
