Energy Efficient Cooling Units
If Your AC Unit is 8 Years or Older, It's Costing You Money
It's true. Air Conditioners that are 8 years or older aren't as energy efficient as the newer models. Older AC units work harder to keep your home cool, and that means using more electricity just to keep your home moderately cool. If your energy bills are higher than you'd like or your home is not cool enough when you need it to be, give us a call. We have affordable, new, energy-efficient AC units and digital controllers for maximum energy savings. Contact the AC pros at Mastercraft and stay cool this summer.

"Split System" Air Conditioners:
A traditional home comfort system has two parts: an indoor unit, such as a furnace or air handler, and an outdoor unit. An air conditioner is an outdoor unit that cools the air and sends it to the indoor unit for circulation through your home. Indoor and outdoor units are designed to work together. When the air conditioner is properly matched with a furnace or air handler, you get maximum efficiency and longer system life. Air conditioning and cooling efficiency are measured using a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). A higher SEER means higher energy efficiency. The latest standard for SEER is 13 (beginning January 2006).
Here's What Makes it Cool:
A "split system" central air conditioner includes a compressor, fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil, and refrigerant. The system removes heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be recirculated. A central air conditioning system uses electricity as its power source.
