    Get free estimation from difference HVAC contractor. They determined what units to install.

    Read about air conditioner efficiency: Central air conditioner units are measure in SEER here: http://www.central-air-conditioner-and-refrigerati...

    HVAC contractor determining the correct size for you home: heat load and heat gain calculation. This should come up with the free estimation.

    Air conditioner unit with high SEER and have Energy Star label save more energy and more expensive.

    Don't be concern with the best brand, be more concern who is installer your central air conditioner units. Some technician will tell you that it doesn't matter. Each contractor favor different brand.

    Make sure the HVAC contractor provide good warranty on the units he installs.

    Really, Good luck shopping for contractor!

    SandShark has the suitable answer. increasing on his answer - make sure you length the Air conditioner properly so a ways as BTUs./lots and get the suitable voltage. Air Conditioners might desire to be slightly undersized for suitable cooling effects. in the adventure that your house demands thirteen,000 BTUs for cooling, a 12,000BTU unit is the suitable one to place in. an outsized Air Conditioner will cool the air too rapid and not do away with the moisture. this might make the home experience chilly and clammy - no longer delicate. the top-rated activity of an Air conditioner is to do away with the moisture (decrease the humidity). make confident it quite is the sleeve form (no ingredient vents)

    My brand is a Kenworth and its reliable, inexpensive and never any probs with it. Look online look at BTu's and evaluate the size of the room and the strength of the AC unit. Make sure they also have a high EER. Which is Energy Efficiency Ratio. That's key to save $$ on the cost of using you new unit. Keep it on one setting temp that suits you so it wont be on all day and you'll be comfy when you get home .. Good luck
