Alpharetta, GA – You can find a do-it-yourself video for just about anything these days, and air conditioner installation is certainly one of them. But just because you’ve seen a DIY video on YouTube, that doesn’t mean you’re ready to take on a project as big as AC installation. “There are a lot of things that could go wrong with DIY air conditioning installation,” says Phil Montgomery, whose Atlanta Heating and Air Conditioning has more than 40 years of experience. “First, you have to know you have the right size system for your home. Installing the wrong size can create a host of problems you might not have bargained for.”

You may think you can save money by purchasing a unit that is a bit smaller than recommended. But, while the unit may save you some money up front, you may actually be increasing your monthly energy bills. A unit that is too small will run harder and more often to keep up with cooling your home.

Likewise, a unit that is too big can cause problems, too. An AC unit not only cools your home, but removes the humidity. A unit that is too big can cool your home quickly, but won’t have the time to dehumidify the air.

You may also be tempted to just look for the exact same unit you have now. But, technology changes rapidly, and the efficiency of units is constantly improved upon. If you’re spending the time and money on a new unit, be sure you are getting the most efficient one you can – it will run better and save you money on your energy bills.

An experienced technician will know exactly what size unit will be the best for your home, and can help you find one that fits in your price range.

Additionally, working on an AC unit means you’ll be working with high voltage electricity, which should be left to the experts.

The trained technicians at Atlanta Heating and Air Conditioning work hard to ensure every customer is well informed about all of the options available to you, as well as the perks associated with choosing high energy efficient systems. But more than that, they won’t desert you after your installation – they’ll be there to help whenever you need them.
