Why are ac units going up in 2023?

In recent years, we experienced a pandemic and, because of that, we saw a shortage of raw materials, causing a shortage of air conditioning systems. In addition to having an excess of currencies with a lower value in circulation, we have had problems with the supply chain around the world, many of which have an even greater impact on the costs of daily living. Price increases refer to what is known as the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Index (SEER). Created by the DOE and the Institute of Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration, the SEER classifies by numbers the efficiency of a central air conditioner.

Larger air conditioning units and coils, which require more copper, aluminum and steel More wagons or tractor-trailers to transport larger units Different fan design and fan covers in air conditioners All of these modifications create additional labor, material, shipping and handling and design costs. As a result, consumers can now expect an average increase of around 15% in the cost of a central air conditioning system. It's good to know about these changes because you'll want to be prepared in case you need an expensive repair to your current air conditioner or a complete system replacement. Your air conditioner is over 12 years old and uses the refrigerant R-410A (Puron), which does not damage the ozone layer and which is being phased out gradually.

While few people get excited about rising equipment costs, especially those that number in the thousands, the benefits of a better air conditioning system with a higher SEER rating pay off in the long run.
