A Spotlight on the Lennox Merit® Series 16ACX Air Conditioner

The temperatures have been slowly dropping over the past few weeks and the need for an air conditioner gets smaller. One might think buying an AC this time of year is preposterous, but it does actually make sense. In fact, buying a new cooling system in fall or winter is a smart thing to do.

Four Seasons Air Specialists is your trusted HVAC company in White Bear Lake MN that carries a wide array of air conditioner choices available for you all year round.

Do You Even Need to Buy a New AC?

If your existing air conditioner fell short last summer, it means that you have the luxury of time to evaluate your options this fall. Since you don’t have to worry about imminent scorching hot days, you can take your time to be sure you’re making the right decision.

The most important thing to consider make sure you need a new air conditioner is to get an impartial assessment of your current AC’s condition. It’s a good idea to ask the opinion of someone who understands HVAC systems, so try to consult your preferred AC repair contractor and get a second opinion, too.

To help the AC professional properly evaluate your cooling system, be sure to give them the details about your previous issues with your unit and the repairs that were made. You may also need to inform them of your air conditioner’s maintenance history and how comfortable you are when the AC is running.

If you are advised to get a new air conditioner, consider the 16ACX from Lennox.
