High-Efficiency Air Conditioners To Keep You Cool
Top 3 Things To Consider When Buying Air Conditioners:
Efficiency
An efficient system will not only lower your energy costs, but also lower your impact on the environment. System cooling efficiency is measured in SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). The higher the SEER, the greater the system’s energy efficiency – much like miles per gallon in a car. However, in our relatively mild climate here in the Spokane / Coeur d’Alene area, it usually doesn’t pay off to invest in higher SEER systems, as the savings won’t pay off.
Buy the right sized unit
Bigger is not necessarily better. Studies show that up to half of home air conditioners don’t work the way they should because they are over-sized. Air conditioners that are over-sized turn off and on more frequently than necessary, using more energy and leading to higher utility bills. They’re noisier and aren’t as effective dehumidifying your home as a smaller system would be. Over-sized air conditioners don’t mean more comfort for you – they mean higher upfront costs, higher electricity bills, and a home that’s uncomfortable to live in.
Proper Installation
A heating & air conditioning system is not a commodity like a washer & dryer or microwave oven. Its efficiency, reliability, performance and safety are directly related to the quality of installation, proper sizing, and air distribution. It’s important when investing thousands of your hard earned dollars on a new system that it performs as expected, and shortcuts aren’t taken in the design or installation process that will bite you later. Beware of the low bidder – a few bucks saved upfront isn’t worth a system that under performs over time. R&R Heating & Air Conditioning is a proven, reputable HVAC contractor who you can trust to do it right.
Whether you are replacing an older unit or adding one to your existing system, our comfort specialists are ready to answer all of your questions. Don’t suffer through another hot summer day (or night).

Don't Sweat the Summer Heat
Benefits of Air Conditioners:
Controllable Comfort  – enjoy comfortable temperatures in all rooms of your home, day or night
Lower Humidity – Eliminates ‘stickiness’ in the air, helps to protect wood floors and wood furniture
Lower Energy Bills – today’s high-efficiency units will save you money, particularly with heat-pumps
Silent Operation – much quieter than conventional table-top fans, and quieter with closed windows & doors
Improved Air Quality – reduce dust, allergens, and bacteria with effective air-purifying filtration systems featured in ACs

Carrier Infinity 19VS - Air Conditioner
Carrier Infinity 19VS – Air Conditioner
The Infinity 19VS is different in a lot of ways. It offers variable-speed compression that can step down in 5 stages to as low as 25% of its capacity. That’s huge from a comfort perspective. The ability to run in lower speeds most of the time makes it quieter and more adept at removing humidity and keeping temperatures even. Plus, those lower speeds are the sweet spot for the unit’s best efficiency levels and for getting the most benefit out of other systems you might have like an air purifier because of more constant air flow through the system.
And, it’s seldom you can upgrade your system a component at a time. Most often, the leap to higher efficiency and better comfort via a communicating system for that home you love can mean you have to deal with the cost of a whole system even though only your AC has called it quits. The Infinity 19VS could change that for you. Your Carrier® expert can help you determine if it can work with your existing indoor unit so you can upgrade in steps.
