In Florida, we don’t just get through summer—we survive it. With temperatures soaring and ACs working overtime, your cooling system can be your best friend or your biggest energy drain. The good news? You don’t have to choose between comfort and cost.

At Scott’s Air, we’re proud to offer Bryant® heating and cooling systems, which are engineered for high performance and energy efficiency. Whether you’re ready to replace an aging system or looking for smart upgrades, here’s how Bryant can help you stay cool, comfortable, and energy-smart all summer long.

 

Why Energy Efficiency Matters (Especially in Florida)

It’s no secret that air conditioning accounts for a significant portion of your summer electric bill. But with rising energy costs and longer heatwaves, the strain on your system—and your wallet—is only growing.

Upgrading to a high-efficiency AC system not only reduces monthly utility bills but also extends the life of your equipment and improves your home’s overall comfort. And when you choose Bryant, you’re choosing a brand known for advanced technology, quiet performance, and long-term reliability.

 

Top Bryant® Energy-Efficient AC Systems to Consider

  1. Bryant Evolution™ Extreme 26 Variable-Speed Air Conditioner

If you’re looking for the best of the best, the Evolution™ Extreme 26 is Bryant’s top-tier model—and for good reason.

  • SEER2 rating up to 24 – That’s among the highest in the industry.
  • Variable-speed compressor – Runs at the exact speed needed for precise temperature control and maximum efficiency.
  • Wi-Fi® enabled with smart diagnostics – Monitor performance and get service reminders directly from your connected device.
  • Ultra-quiet operation – Great for homes where outdoor unit noise is a concern.

This system is ideal for homeowners who want superior comfort, better humidity control, and serious energy savings.

 

  1. Bryant Preferred™ 17 Two-Stage Air Conditioner

Looking for excellent performance without going all-in on a premium system? The Preferred™ 17 strikes a solid balance between cost and efficiency.

  • Up to 17 SEER2 efficiency
  • Two-stage operation for more consistent cooling and fewer temperature swings
  • Improved dehumidification, which is key in our Central Florida climate
  • Compatible with most smart thermostats

This is a great mid-range option for families wanting to reduce energy costs while still enjoying a noticeable comfort upgrade.

 

  1. Bryant Legacy™ Line – Budget-Friendly Efficiency

If you’re replacing an older unit and need something more budget-conscious, the Legacy™ Line still delivers strong performance with dependable Bryant quality.

  • Up to 16.5 SEER2 efficiency
  • Single-stage operation that’s reliable and simple to maintain
  • A great step up from older 10–13 SEER systems that can spike your power bill

Even entry-level Bryant models offer better efficiency than systems built just 10 years ago. It’s a smart way to save without overspending.

 

Smart Upgrades for Even More Savings

Upgrading your AC unit is a big step—but don’t overlook these Bryant system add-ons that can enhance your energy efficiency and comfort:

✔️ Bryant® Evolution™ Connex Thermostat

This intelligent thermostat learns your habits and adjusts settings to minimize energy use without sacrificing comfort. Plus, it gives you full remote control via mobile app.

✔️ Zoning Systems

Cool only the rooms you’re using. Bryant’s zoning solutions let you divide your home into comfort zones so everyone gets the temperature they prefer—and you don’t waste money cooling unused areas.

✔️ Air Purifiers & UV Lamps

Improve indoor air quality and reduce strain on your HVAC system. Clean air flows better and keeps your system running more efficiently.
