AC installation in Gibraltar, MI

Accurate sizing of an AC replacement is essential to minimize your short- and long-term costs. Our Superior Comfort technician will perform a load calculation that factors your home’s floor plan, square footage, and ceiling heights. We’ll also account for your home’s building envelope and the specifics of the location, such as how much sunlight it gets. Load calculation science has become more sophisticated, and your home’s building envelope has likely changed over the years.

Every home requires a certain cooling output, which the industry measures in tons. Tonnage generally ranges from 1.5 to five. The load calculation we perform will specify the tonnage you need. Once you know that value, you can explore features and efficiency within that class.

One of the most important considerations for AC installation is the system’s seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). SEER measures efficiency over an entire cooling season. A system with a higher SEER rating will cost you less to run each summer. Which SEER value is right for you depends on several factors. Our installer will help you consider your budget and the potential long-term savings.

Our team encourages every customer to upgrade their thermostat alongside their AC unit. A programmable thermostat can lower annual cooling costs by up to 10% for the average household. Smart thermostats often have additional features to help you save. Remote access and control are standard, and common options include energy monitoring and machine learning. You can also opt to upgrade to a zone control system. Zoned AC provides you with granular control that can increase your annual savings by about 30%.
