There are a few things to look out for if you want to make the switch: 1. **ENERGY STAR Rating:** To achieve this certification the appliance must meet the strict guidelines set by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy. 2. **SEER Rating:** Measures the cooling efficiency of AC units and heat pumps, calculated by diving the cooling output by total amount of energy used. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient the model is. _Recommended rating is 20+_ 3. **EER Rating:** Measures the efficiency of cooling appliances at a specific temperature (usually 35 °C), calculated by dividing the cooling capacity (in BTUs) by the power input (in watts). The higher the EER rating the more efficient the model is. _Recommended rating is 8.5+_ Costs Affecting Install Price ## How Much Does It Cost To Install A New AC System? There are a few factors that affect the cost of install your new or replacement air conditioning system, we have outlined a few things that can influence the overall cost of installing a new AC unit below: - **Size of AC unit:** This doesn’t refer to the physical size of your unit, rather the its cooling capacity, the higher the cooling capacity the higher the unit cost. - **Energy-efficiency:** The more energy-efficient your new AC unit is, the higher the initial cost to buy the unit. However, the future cost savings on your energy bills will make up for this expense. - **Ductwork & vents:** Another consideration is the presence of ductwork, if your property requires [**new ductwork installation**](https://northwindhvacpro.ca/duct-work/) or replacement then this will impact the overall installation cost. - **Additional services:** Did you want to [**install a new HRV or ERV system**](https://northwindhvacpro.ca/hrv-installation/)?
