I own a 1200 sq ft house, two story. I want to replace my old a/c heating unit with new. I want a split system to control the upstairs and downstairs separately. I have a gas line to the house but I prefer full electric, but am willing to go back to gas for heat if it makes sense. I have been dealing with low airflow for a long time and expect a new system will end that problem too. I'm thinking 3 to 3 1/2 ton 13 seer. Need airflow!

Maintenance
Air conditioning maintenance cannot only increase the efficiency of your unit, but also avoid the need for AC repairs, and increase the life span of your unit. It is estimated that in the absence of air conditioner maintenance, your AC will lose up to 5% of its cooling capacity each year. With regular central air conditioner maintenance however, you can keep your unit functioning at its original efficiency for years on. Lack of maintenance can drag down the efficiency of your system, leading to massive power bills. In fact, maintaining your AC is considered an important part of increasing the life span of your unit. As your filters get clogged and the heat absorbing capacity of your evaporator coil is impacted, you can expect the life span of your unit to reduce each year.
Central air conditioner maintenance involves a few simple tips. The most important task is to clean the filters regularly, or get them replaced. A filter that is packed with millions of dust particles can obstruct air flow, and drag down the efficiency of your air conditioner. Besides, these dust particles may be carried by air into the evaporated coil where it can impact the heat absorbing capacity of your coil. During peak season, your filter must be replaced at least every month. Check hose connections regularly, and look for leaks. Keep the outside compressor clean by hosing it, and vacuum air vents and registers frequently. Place your furniture and curtains away from registers, and keep plants away from the unit to allow optimum air flow. Hire an air conditioner maintenance technician to conduct a complete servicing and tune up of your unit at least once a year. Preferably, get your unit serviced just before the cooling season begins.
