Factors to Keep in Mind When Purchasing an Air Conditioner

Size and Capacity: The first thing to consider when buying an air conditioner is its size and capacity. A unit that is too small won’t be able to cool your home effectively, while one that is too big will waste energy and money. Choosing an AC that is appropriately sized for your home and your needs is essential.
Energy Efficiency: Energy efficiency is another crucial factor when choosing an air conditioner. An AC unit with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating will use less energy to cool your home, saving you money on your energy bills. Look for a unit with a SEER rating of at least 14.
Features and Technology: There are many features and technologies available in modern air conditioners, including programmable thermostats, remote controls, and smart home compatibility. Consider what features are important to you and your lifestyle when choosing an air conditioner.
Sound Level: No one wants to hear their air conditioner loud and noisy, especially at night. Make sure to choose a unit that operates quietly, with a decibel level of no more than 60. It’s important to consider the noise level. Opt for a unit with a decibel level no higher than 60 to ensure a quiet and peaceful indoor environment.
Cost and Warranty: The cost of an air conditioner can vary greatly, depending on the size, efficiency, and features you choose. It’s essential to consider both the upfront cost and the long-term cost of ownership, including energy bills and potential maintenance costs. Also, consider the manufacturer’s warranty, which can provide peace of mind and protect your investment.

      We are so pleased with our new HVAC system and bathroom exhaust fan.  Jay and his entire staff were super. A couple of issues came up and they stuck with the process and fixed everything with care, speed, and great care.
Thank you so much!

      We recently had our heating and a/c system replaced by the team from Baehr.  They were absolutely fantastic to work with.  Alex gave us lots of options to think about and also guided us through the pros and cons of each one. They were very professional and courteous throughout the process.  We highly recommend Alex, John and the whole team from Baehr.

      The owner came out himself to check out my radiant floors which I already thought was cool. When he looked at them he came to the conclusion that the zone control modules were probably shot. He told me that if I am comfortable changing them myself Id save some money, I agreed. He gave me some pointers on how to do it and the website on which I could find the products. That was 1 year ago, I finally got around to changing them and now my radiant floors work like new. Thank you guys for helping and being thoughtful. And most importantly being right.

      Props to Jay and his company! Although they were super busy and had to reschedule my appointment, it was worth the wait. He knew exactly what he was working with and got my heater working properly again. The previous company that came out (South Placer Heating and Air) gave me a wrong diagnosis for the issue and then tried to convince me I needed to replace the heat exchange or the entire HVAC unit! Thank goodness I got a second opinion, and landed someone honest. Jay saved me big time.

      Honest and reliable business. Both Johnny and Jay care about their customers and the community. They have our best interests at heart, and I highly recommend them! If I have an HVAC issue again, I know who to call. Did I mention Jay showed up on his day off when an emergency repair came up and we needed to reschedule? These guys are a stop shop. They have all the next steps available and genuinely care. Awesome front desk as well.
