How Do I Prepare For Phoenix A/C Installation?

Are you looking forward to Phoenix A/C Installation in the near future?  Not sure where to start?  Well, that's alright.  A/C installation can be a bit confusing.  What system should you get?  Well, there are so many options that it would be nearly impossible to look at them all.  So here are something you can do to help narrow down your search.

First: find out how much space you need your new system to cool.  Calculate the floor space of your home.  If you bought a new home, you may still have this figure around.  If not, you can calculate it yourself measuring yourself.  Even if your home has shapes that aren't standard, you can usually break it down into combinations of triangles, circles, and rectangles.  Just calculate the areas of all these shapes and add them up.  A professional can also come and help you find this number.  The space you need to cool will impact the amount of cooling power your system will need.  This is measured in BTUs, but it varies by environmental conditions and other factors. A standard guess is about 25 BTU per square foot of floor space, but given the needs of Phoenix A/C installation, this number will be higher.

Second: consider the specific needs of your home.  Does your home need the entire area cooled?  Or would a zoned system be more efficient for you?  A zoned system only cools zones of the house, meaning that some areas are hot, but if you don't need to cool those areas, it can save you a lot of money.  

Third: look for outside constraints.  Check to make sure you have space for a new A/C or that your housing development doesn't have any restrictions on types of A/C systems they will allow.  While this is very uncommon, it would be a huge pain to buy a new system and then have no where to put it or to be told that it isn't allowed where you live.

So now you've hopefully got some more information to narrow down your search for a new A/C system.  Good luck with your new Phoenix A/C installation!
