Yes you can – but it has to be the right system for your home, and it has to be installed correctly.

Air conditioning systems have come a long way in the last 10 years. In fact the most energy efficient unit sold 10 years ago probably wouldn't meet the minimum standards set today. Homeowners can save up to 55% on their utility bills after buying a new system.

However, unless you hire a reputable and trusted company to install your system, you may not experience the savings as you expect. Some air conditioning companies offer low prices initially, but end up cutting corners to make up for the difference.

According to the EPA : "newly installed heating and cooling systems that are under or over-sized, improperly charged, or connected to a poorly designed and installed duct system will not deliver the rated efficiency." If an AC System is improperly installed you may not be getting what you paid for. In order for an Air Conditioning system to work as the manufacturer intended – it must be installed correctly, by exact specifications by an experienced certified technician.

Purchasing a new air conditioning system is a large expense and you should do some research before you hire a company. A reputable and professional Air Conditioning company doesn't just want to sell you the biggest most expensive system. Beware of giant warehouses full of discounted equipment, look for a trusted local contractor who has a great reputation and will be there to stand behind their work. There are many great resources on the internet including the BBB and Angie's list, as well as Google and Yelp where you can do research and read reviews on a company before you hire them.

Continued education is important! Contractors who participate in advanced training on diagnostic and installation practices will be able to install better performing systems. Also, a good contractor will invest the time to consult with you, and will supply you with all of the information you need.

And remember – a reputable company will never just call you out of the blue and use high pressure sales tactics to try and sell you a new Ac System.
