How to Choose the Right AC for Your Property
At Precision Heating & Air, we pair our years of experience with the latest technologies to ensure you have the perfect AC unit for your home. Our technicians will take the time to thoroughly analyze your space—listening to your budget and helping you pick a system that meets your cooling needs while being energy-efficient and cost-effective.
We start by finding a system that is the right size for your property, as an AC that is too large will not adequately control humidity, and a system that is too small will not sufficiently cool your home when temperatures start to climb. Our team also evaluates where the new system should be placed, as the wrong location or insufficient insulation can diminish efficiency.
Central Air Conditioning
Central air conditioners are rated according to their seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), which measures the relative amount of energy needed to provide a specific cooling output. With older systems earning a rating of 6 or less and newer systems have a minimum rating of 13, you’ll be surprised by how efficient and affordable a new AC can be.
Our technicians make it easier than ever to install a new system by providing:
- Fast response times
- A free estimate
- A free second opinion on HVAC repairs and/or replacement

Central vs Ductless Air Conditioners
Are you looking for a new air conditioner? Central ACs are great because they provide cool, clean air throughout your entire home. But if you're looking for something a little more affordable or only need cooling in a specific room, a ductless air conditioner might be the right choice for you.
Compare the costs and benefits of both types of air conditioners to decide which is right for your needs. We can help you choose the perfect air conditioner for your home. Our experienced technicians will help you find the best air conditioner for your budget and your lifestyle. For more information, call us today!

What You Should Understand About SEER Ratings Before Installing an Air Conditioner
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it's an important metric to consider when installing an air conditioner. SEER is a measure of an air conditioner's efficiency over an entire cooling season. It represents the ratio of the total cooling output of an air conditioner (in British Thermal Units or BTUs) to the total electrical energy consumed (in watt-hours) during the same period.
Here are some key things you should know about SEER ratings:
- Higher SEER means greater efficiency: A higher SEER rating indicates a more energy-efficient unit. Air conditioners with higher SEER ratings tend to be more expensive upfront, but they can save you money in the long run due to reduced energy consumption.
- Minimum SEER requirements: The U.S. Department of Energy sets minimum SEER requirements for different regions. These requirements have changed over time to encourage more energy-efficient systems. Currently, the minimum SEER requirement for new residential air conditioners is 15 in the southern part of the United States.
- Cost vs. Savings: While higher SEER-rated units are more expensive upfront, they can lead to significant long-term savings on your energy bills. It's important to consider both the initial cost and the potential long-term savings when choosing a system.
- Other Factors to Consider: While SEER is important, it's not the only factor to consider. Factors like the size of the unit, your home's insulation, and proper installation are also crucial in ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
- Professional Installation is Key: Regardless of the SEER rating, proper installation is crucial for the system to operate efficiently. Poorly installed systems can lead to reduced efficiency and higher energy bills.
Remember, while SEER is an important factor, it's just one of many to consider when choosing an air conditioner. Consulting with a professional Austin AC installation technician at Precision Heating & Air can help you make the best decision for your specific needs and circumstances.
