I have a Trane unit which was installed in January of 2001. It has not preformed the way I expected and as of this time both the a/c and the heater have gone out. I need a unit that will last. The home is approm. 2600 square feet with a new roof and insulation.

If you have noticed inflated energy bills, it may be due to your home air conditioning system. Your residential AC can take up a large chunk of your home energy bills, in many cases as much as 60% of the bill. Fortunately, it's easy to enjoy cool and inexpensive comfort with your home air conditioner, provided you make the effort to research residential air conditioning systems before making a choice. Many people however, put very little thought into buying a home air conditioning unit, with the result that they find the energy efficiency of their home at an absolute low.
If you are considering purchasing a new residential AC, make sure that you buy one that's the right size for your home. An air conditioner that's too small will not be able to cool quickly, and you may need to have the system switched on throughout the day, even on those days when the cooling requirement is not that high. This drags down your energy efficiency. On the other hand, a home air conditioning unit that's too small is likely to run in short intermittent cycles, switching itself on and off whenever the desired room temperature is reached. A small AC can also increase humidity levels inside the home, and create damp conditions that foster the growth of mold. Where you place your AC can also make a difference to the energy efficiency of your house air conditioning unit. For instance, placing a unit on a window ledge with foliage and plants clustered around the back of the unit can drag down energy efficiency. You'll also need to make a call on whether a central air conditioning unit or split system is a right fit for your home.
If looking for a home air conditioning system that offers maximum operating efficiency seems confusing, consult a professional residential air conditioning contractor. He will not only be able to advise you about the right home air conditioner for your house, but will also help with residential HVAC design and installation. You can also rely on him for installation of residential central air conditioners, HVAC installation, HVAC ducting and HVAC maintenance.
