Adding Value to Your Home
Depending on the source you consult, you will get different responses to the question “Does refrigerated air add value to my home?” After researching and consulting with real estate agents in our area, we’ve determined that the amount that refrigerated air adds to the resale value of the home is dependent upon several factors, one of the most important being location. For example, several people that reside in areas with more moderate temperatures have reported that the resale value of their homes was not increased by adding refrigerated air. However, they also reported that they used their systems very sparingly, maybe only once or twice per season. Here in the El Paso area, refrigerated air is a great benefit to add to a home. Our hot desert summers and cold winters make refrigerated air an asset to homes. As the past few months have shown us, the weather here can fluctuate- being frigid one week and hot the next. Refrigerated air ensures that no matter how unexpected the weather may be you will always be comfortable in your home. This is not true with swamp coolers. While there are a number of factors that contribute to the resale value of a home, in our El Paso & Las Cruces area refrigerated air systems typically add several thousand dollars to the value of your home. Many real estate agents will also confirm that homes with refrigerated air are easier to sell than those with evaporative cooling ...

Benefits of Refrigerated Air
Despite the hassles that come with evaporative coolers every year, many people continue to deal with these frustrations because of the perceived costliness of refrigerated air systems. A lot of people aren’t aware of all of the ways that refrigerated air can improve the quality of life within a home. Every year, people that have swamp coolers have to call to have both the heat and the A/C turned on. Swamp coolers generally don’t come with very good maintenance or warranty plans, and they frequently require maintenance and service. Refrigerated Air systems are typically easy to maintain so long as you change the air filter regularly. Refrigerated air systems are more efficient than swamp coolers at circulating air throughout the home, keeping your home comfortable at all times. One of the key benefits of refrigerated air that many people may not be aware of is the ability of refrigerated air to reduce allergens in the home. Swamp coolers use water to cool the homes, and this creates humidity indoors. This allows allergens and things like dust mites and mold to have good growing environments. Refrigerated air doesn’t provide the same humidity in the home, and the air is run through a filter, reducing the number of allergens in the home. This could be considered a great improvement in the quality of life for homes that have sickly occupants, small children, or the elderly. These are just a few of the benefits that come with refrigerated ...

Understanding SEER Ratings
One of the things that customers should look at when considering purchasing refrigerated air systems is the SEER rating of the system. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio or SEER is what gauges the efficiency of your air conditioning system. SEER can be looked at the same way as your cars gas mileage; the higher the number, the more efficient your system. Homes that had systems installed 10-15 years ago probably only have seer ratings of 6-10, which was the best available at the time. Thanks to developments in technology, we now have SEER ratings up to 20. Typically, systems with higher SEER ratings are initially more costly than those with low SEER ratings, however with higher-efficiency systems comes a lower power bill. The reduced-cost of your energy bill will generally make up the difference between the cost of the two systems within approximately two years. In two years, your system will still be working efficiently, and you will still have added value to your home. SEER rating is definitely something to consider when looking at installing refrigerated air systems. If you have any questions about your SEER rating, or if you would like to receive a free quote to upgrade to a newer, more efficient system giver our Total Air office a call at (915) 585-0909.
