3 of the Newest AC Unit Features and Whether They’re Worth It for Your Family

Your air conditioner is one of the most important parts of your home – especially when those intense Florida summers begin (and go on and on and on and on). If it’s time to invest in a new HVAC system for your home, then it’s definitely time to ask all kinds of questions: what’s your budget? What’s your family’s lifestyle, and what features help to make that kind of lifestyle as comfortable as possible? And, of course, which features are actually worth the investment? To help you get some answers, we’ve compiled this list of the newest AC unit features and whether they’re worth it. That said, no two homes or families are identical, so the best thing you can do is find out about these features yourself to determine whether they’re worth the splurge. To get started, keep on reading.

Variable Speed

In this climate-conscious time, efficiency without waste is the name of the game in the HVAC industry. This is particularly true of variable-speed air conditioners, which automatically control the speed of airflow through your home. The point of this is to help maintain your home at your desired temperate while expending minimal energy by using only a fraction of your unit’s power. Variable-speed models are perfect for your home if you’re looking to minimize your carbon footprint without having to sacrifice clean, comfortable air.

Worth It?

Most likely. Though variable-speed units can be pricier up-front, their fantastic energy savings will help you save quite a bit long-term. If you’d rather spend more upon purchase but save in the long run, this might be a feature to look into.

Smart Thermostats

In our era of everything from smartphones to smart doorbells, it’s no surprise that smart thermostats can also become a feature in your (smart) home. We have to say, they’re pretty neat: by connecting to your WiFi, smart thermostats can be accessed from anywhere, allowing you to change your home’s temperature from anywhere at any time. This definitely has great energy-saving potential (say goodbye to all those times leaving the house for an entire weekend without remembering to turn up the temperature!).

Worth It?

Maybe, maybe not. If you’re a tech aficionado who wants to automate as much of their home as possible, this is a great feature for you to consider. That being said, if you tend to remember to change your thermostat, anyway, this feature may be superfluous.

UV Lights for HVAC Systems

We think this one’s pretty interesting: one of the most interesting developments in the HVAC world has been the arrival of UV lights for HVAC systems. These ultraviolet lights are attached to your unit itself, and they’re used to kill bacteria that accumulate on it over time. This not only keeps your unit clean and germ-free, but it also does wonders for keeping the air quality of your home pristine.

Worth It?

Yes. Keeping your AC unit’s exterior clean is a major part of keeping your home’s air clean, as well. This one-time investment will save you years’ worth of cleaning and scrubbing, allowing your family to enjoy cooler, cleaner air for longer.

As you consider some of the newest AC unit features and whether they’re worth it for your family, take your unique lifestyle into account. Of course, every family is different, so the “worth it” factor of a feature will depend on your unique lifestyle choices and preferences. That being said, we hope this shortlist was helpful in getting you started with choosing the HVAC features you want for your home.
