Cooling efficiency is now rated as SEER2, and the Southeast has its own minimum. A higher rating costs more up front and saves on cooling bills; the payback is worth working out at your actual usage rather than defaulting to the top of the range.

A new system is only as good as its controls. A compatible thermostat is set up for humidity-friendly operation and walked through with you before the job is closed out, so the comfort you paid for is the comfort you get.

Where the air handler sits decides how easy it is to service and how likely a leak is to cause damage. Access, a secondary drain pan and a safety switch are planned in, so a future problem is easy to reach and cheap to contain.

A system sized by rule of thumb is usually too big, short-cycles and leaves a house cool but clammy. A load calculation based on the home’s size, insulation, windows and orientation sets the capacity so the system runs long enough to remove humidity.
