The goal is to find an air-conditioning system that looks nice, makes you feel good and \Ni NYMM (NAPSA)—Besides staying cool when the warm weatherrolls in, not getting hot under the collar operatesefficiently. How To Measure Cooling Efficiency Recently enacted federal legislation helps with the efficiency issue. All central air conditioners manufactured after January 23, 2006, must have a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of at least 13 SEER. This increase in the measure of cooling efficiency from 10 to 18 SEER means savings on yourutility bills. As manufacturers of air-conditioning systems work to meetthis new efficiency standard, some are also incorporating improved com- fort features in their designs. For example, the Acclimate™ Series of air conditioners from Luxaire Heating and Cooling, a brand of the Unitary Products Group of York—a Johnson Controls company, meets or exceeds the efficiency challenge with 13 and 15 SEER units that also address important comfort issues. These air conditioners are available with two-stage compressor technology to reduce operating cost without sacrificing comfort. On-off cycles are kept to a minimum for even, quiet, more comfortable cooling. Cool And Quiet The unit’s exclusive Silent- A es You don’t haveto be a fortune teller to know that the higher the SEER means the more you save. Drive” System further reduces sound. A swept-wing fan design enables air to flow smoothly off the blade, reducing air turbulence and significantly reducing noise. The system also incorporates an isolated compressor compartment and a composite base pan for more quiet operation. In fact, an Accli- mate air conditioner records sound levels as low as 69 decibels (dB). This is quieter than competitive units and much quieter than a typical hair dryer, which operates in the range of 76 dB. Acclimate’s quiet, comfortable, efficient operation is easy on the ears and easy on the pocketbook. The unit is also easy on the eyes, with a sleek contemporary look that brings style to homecooling.
