Ruud Logo - Air ConditionersWhen the summer heat rolls in, a reliable air conditioning system isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity for your home's comfort and your peace of mind. That's why DG Heating & Cooling proudly recommends and installs Ruud air conditioning systems. Ruud is an industry leader renowned for combining cutting-edge, innovative air conditioning technology with unwavering, dependable performance, helping you achieve optimal indoor comfort while keeping your utility bills manageable.

Our confidence in Ruud stems from several key factors. Their air conditioning systems are engineered with top-quality components designed for longevity and efficiency. This includes features like highly efficient scroll compressors that operate with fewer moving parts for increased reliability and quieter operation, and durable condenser coils built to withstand the elements. Ruud air conditioning systems also boast quiet operation - all equipment is engineered with acoustics in mind using sound-dampening features, ensuring efficiency goes up while sound levels stay low. Many Ruud models offer impressive Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings, indicating their superior ability to cool your home using less energy, translating directly into significant savings on your monthly electricity bills.

Beyond their robust construction and energy-saving capabilities, Ruud stands out for its comprehensive warranty offerings and excellent service and support. Ruud typically offers a 5-year limited parts warranty on their air conditioning units, but DG Heating and Cooling ensures 10-year extended warranties for all components of your heating and cooling system, providing homeowners with long-term protection and assurance. Furthermore, DG Heating and Cooling provides a 5-year labor warranty with conditional seasonal maintenance on full system replacements, with 'pay as maintenance is done', not the typical pay-upfront service agreements. DG stands behind our workmanship, which allows for even greater peace of mind, covering parts and labor for unexpected repairs beyond the standard warranty period.

The thoughtful design of Ruud air conditioning systems also prioritizes ease of maintenance and service. Features like PlusOne™ Triple Service Access and diagnostic service windows make it simpler and faster for our HVAC technicians to access internal components, leading to more efficient repairs and reduced service times. This attention to detail underscores Ruud's commitment to both homeowner comfort and HVAC technician convenience.

For all these reasons—their advanced technology, proven reliability, quiet operation, energy efficiency, robust warranties, and dedicated support—DG Heating & Cooling wholeheartedly stands behind Ruud.

Air Conditioner Tips

What do good air conditioning units have in common?

The best ones are efficient, operating on minimal electricity to reduce the cost of utility bills. Energy efficient air conditioners provide steady, dependable performance year after year when properly maintained. Good air conditioning systems are quiet, long-lasting, and low in service needs.

How can I be sure my air conditioning unit is the right size?

An air conditioner that’s too small won’t keep your home sufficiently cool. However, an over-sized system will cycle (turn on and off) more than necessary, wasting energy and putting undue strain on the compressor. DG Heating & Cooling will help assess what size Ruud air conditioner is best suited for your home. Factors such as window dimensions and exposure, floor space, insulation, local climate, heat-generating appliances, the direction your home faces, and even the amount of shade produced by trees on the property all come into play when determining what air conditioner will work most efficiently for your home cooling needs.

Which air conditioners are energy efficient?

Air conditioner manufacturers are required, by law, to evaluate and rate their equipment according to its "energy efficiency". This rating is known in the HVAC industry as SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating). The higher the SEER, the more efficient the air conditioner.

Property owners can upgrade their air conditioning with a more energy-efficient system. High SEER models may incur a higher initial investment, but easily make up the difference by reducing home energy bills over the long run. Ruud air conditioners are ahead of the curve when it comes to energy efficiency and SEER ratings.


Air Conditioner Service Tips

Clean Indoor & Outdoor Coils of an Air Conditioner

Dirty coils reduce the operational efficiency of your air conditioning system, costing more in energy bills and increase wear-and-tear.

Maintain Refrigerant Levels

Too much or too little refrigerant can damage an air conditioner's compressor leading to decreased efficiency.

Ensure Maximum Air Circulation

Clean and adjust an air conditioner's blower components to provide proper system air flow for higher comfort levels.
