2 Quick Fact Countless neighborhood residents never recognize their home air conditioning system works roughly 3,000+ hours each year. In order to put this run time in perspective, your car driven for the identical 3,000 hours at over 60 miles per hour would certainly travel 180,000 miles. Hardly anyone would contemplate this kind of trip without planning to get the car s oil changed and lubricated, in addition to scheduling a preventive maintenance.

3 Home Data Worksheet How old is your home? How old is your air conditioning system? How long have you lived in your home? How many more years are you planning to live in your current home? What is the approximate Square footage of your home? Does your home currently have insulation? If not, will you be adding insulation soon? How long have you been thinking about replacing your Air Conditioning system? What made you make a decision to replace your Air Conditioning system today?

4 Home Data Worksheet Are you concerned with managing your monthly electrical bills? What is the amount of your highest electrical bill? What is the amount of your lowest electrical bill? Do you believe you are paying too much in electricity? Does the temperature in your home gets to Hot or too Cold before the air conditioner turns on? Does the air inside your home feel either too Dry or too Humid? Are some of the rooms in your home too Hot or too Cold?

5 Home Data Worksheet What five (5) features do you believe are the most important when selecting a New Comfort System for your home? Greater energy efficiency More even temperature Better air purification Better temperature control Improved air flow Reduced noise level Faster heating and cooling Better humidity control

7 Do you need a New Air conditioning System? The operational cost of a air conditioning system in a household could account for more than 50% of your electric bill during the peak Heating and Cooling months. Before you spend money on repairing your existing AC system, consider these questions to evaluate the condition of your system: Does your AC system undergoes frequent repairs? Has your system experience a major component failure? Is your electrical bill too high? Is your system running harder and longer to keep your home cool? If your AC is more than 10 years old and you answered YES to any of the above questions, you may benefit from replacing your system and taking advantage of lower long-terms costs. High-Efficiency systems may cost more initially, but in the long run, you save in energy operating cost.

8 Indoor Air Quality Do you or anyone in your family suffer from: Allergies or Nose Bleeds? Asthmas, Colds or Sinus Problems Morning Headaches in the Winter or Perspiration in the Summer Are you concern with the quality of air in your home? Have you noticed condensation on the windows or mold on the walls? Do you believe that the air in your home is fresh and free of allergy activating particles such as pollen, dust, etc. Do odors from cooking, smoking, or pets seem to linger in your home?

14 Terminology EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio): The term generally used to define cooling efficiencies of unitary air-conditioning and heat pump systems. The efficiency is determined at a single rated condition specified by an appropriate equipment standard (Hot Climate). SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): The term SEER is used to define the average annual cooling efficiency of an air-conditioning or heat pump system. The term SEER is similar to the term EER but is related to a typical (hypothetical) season rather than for a single rated condition. Most Utility companies recommend a Minimum SEER of (Moderate Climate).

15 Terminology Energy Star It is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy to help consumers save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. A central air conditioner that has earned the Energy Star label is at least 14% more efficient than the standard new system and can save you money. Homeowners living in hot and humid climates can expect savings in their energy operating cost over the life of the qualified equipment. All air conditioning equipment and products with the Energy Star label meet strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. Ton A measure of the size or cooling capacity of an air conditioner. One ton is equal to 12,00 British Thermal Unit s (BTU s).
