When installing a central air conditioner two moments are most
important – to find a good experience contractor and to select

air conditioning unit will ensure that it is tightly sealed so no

unit and the installation might be very high. But if you go for
an energy efficient model and install it properly, it will save

way more efficient than window air conditioners.
Air conditioner energy efficiency is measured by SEER (seasonal
energy efficiency ratio). Higher the ratio, more energy efficient
you air conditioner is. Ratio of 13 is considered good, anything
higher is even better.

Star. Earning the ENERGY STAR means the air conditioner meet strict
energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection
Agency and the Department of Energy. These might be more expensive,
but they will save you in a long term.
