(Newswire.net — April 8, 2014) Windsor, Ontario — Two decades ago, owning an air conditioner was a featured luxury to many Canadians. Nowadays it is recognized as a common amenity, a must-have at workplaces and home. Through the humid summer months, especially in the southern regions with progressively hot summers, all new developments come equipped.

 

“I’m only 23 years old so my generation grew up with air conditioning in the city. New Installs typically take place at a new site, very rarely an old home.” said Darren Walters, a HVAC installer with Buveck Inc.. He has been with the company for two years. “Once you venture north however, it’s a different story. People just like to have their windows open.”.

 

In a simple explanation, an air conditioning unit transfers heat and humidity from the home while cooling and the inside air and circulating it to establish a pleasant environment for the residents.

 

In the Canadian homes the most common system type is the split or central system. The actual unit known as the condensing unit, is located outside the residence usually atop a pad of stone. Second to that is the ductless, or the mini-split system. This technology has been progressing quickly and is extremely common in homes that have zero ductwork.

 

“Ductless air conditioning systems are great, but the industry professionals and the educated buyer is really looking for energy efficiency. In the end it saves them money, and it saves the environment.” adds Darren.

 

Large advancements have been made with energy efficient air conditioning and cooling in recent years. Most homeowners buy a new air conditioner unit not only for comfort and quiet operation, but to lower the energy bills. 

 

The rating system is by SEER units, or long form: Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The greater the number the higher the rating and the less expensive it is to operate. The SEER rating of an air conditioner is established when you divide the total cooling achieved over a year by the amount of energy needed to produce that chill.

 

In 1995, the federal government’s Energy Efficiency Regulations covers air conditioning. The allowable minimum efficiency level is thirteen. Energy Star labelling requires a rating of 14.5 SEER or higher. Energy Star is an internationally recognized label applied to equipment that attains a level of energy efficiency.
