Should You Get a Variable-Speed Air Conditioner?

A new air conditioner is a significant investment, so you want to be sure to choose the best cooling equipment for your home. You usually have the choice between a single-stage or a variable-speed AC. If you’re unsure which one is best for your home, you can always consult an experienced air conditioner service provider. 

Here’s how you’ll know if a modulating or variable-speed air conditioner is ideal for you. 

You’re too warm or cold while sleeping. Did you know that your air conditioner can affect your quality of sleep? With a fixed-speed system, you may become too cold or too warm while sleeping, depending on if your air conditioner is cycling on or off. On the other hand, a variable-speed air conditioner will provide longer, less intense airflow. This helps keep your living spaces at a more consistent, comfortable temperature, which also encourages better sleep. 

You have cold spots in your house. Do you have cold spots in your house? If so, you should consider getting a modulating air conditioner, which allows you to choose the specific temperature that you feel the most comfortable with without worrying about your spaces getting too cold. AC repair experts recommend variable-speed ACs to get rid of cold spots at home. 

You have humidity issues. Excessive humidity can cause an uncomfortable, clammy, sticky sensation to linger in the air. A variable-speed air conditioner runs more consistently, resulting in more air being cycled through the system. This helps get rid of moisture in the air and lowers indoor humidity. When your home’s humidity level is low, you can raise the temperature on your thermostat, improving your comfort while at the same time saving on energy costs.
